- I do a lot of diagrams in OODraw. Sometimes I'll reopen the file to find arrows and connectors have moved.
Interesting. I use Draw a lot and haven't had that hit me yet. Any chance I could convince you to post something about this to the AOO mailing list, or open an issue in Jira about it? (that is, assuming there isn't already an issue for this).
Poor documentation of OO scripting environment. It's tough to figure out how to automate simple things in Calc.
Agreed. I just went through that exercise myself, when I was working on a thing at work to use the Jira API to query stories, and pull stuff into a spreadsheet for analysis. I was able to figure it out, but it wasn't easy. From what I've seen, the information is all there, but it's not necessarily organized / accessible enough. There's also not enough tutorial format stuff. Hopefully I can write up some stuff based on my recent experience and get it out there.
but I wished it would start giving Microsoft more competition in the power user category.
Same here. I have a laundry list of things I'd like to try and add to Calc to make it more powerful for complex analytics and what-not, but I am so busy on other projects I haven't had time to pursue those ideas much.
