I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.


That was a political statement, hence off-topic in this thread. I am sorry. If it is ...

Re: Link to another tab


"Opmaak"|"Link"
Format|Hyperlink in the English Locale

In "URL" you write the complete path to the file you want to use.
Or nothing when you navigate inside the present file.

In "Target" you write the sheet's name: f.i. Mother's Finest (which is wrong because of the apostrophe!)
In deed! I ...

Re: Link to another tab


Thanks for your reaction. This looks like what I want but I tried and it didn't work...


I am glad it worked for you in the end, also because of my insecurity and the fact that the procedure may – in fact – be a little awkward.
However, if you can point to the precise difficulty that you had in ...

I am not sure that I really understand the problem, but here is an exemplary PMDX file with a hyperlink on sheet1, catapulting you to sheet2.

Re: Splitting pages of a PDF document

This kind of transformation is best done with graphics software.

As I lack experience with Microsoft Windows® I can only point to Gimp or Ghostscript , as both exist in versions for Windows® . While the first comes with a GUI and may be most useful for occasional transformations of PDF, the latter ...

Re: [woff2/ttf] Round trip brotli compress & uncompress


For the time being, online converters and the woff-tools available for Debian make me gain 100K on a TrueType font. There are two things to retain here:
1.) 100K is not much on the Web. Almost nothing compared to the other resources that people are used to share, nowadays.
2.) There “appears to be ...

Re: [woff2/ttf] Round trip brotli compress & uncompress


A tool like FontForge would be able to tell you that since it logs all issues and errors contained on the font file and it provides the required tools to fix most, if not all issues. I could also be used to do the conversion. Just keep in mind that the font licencie must allow you to manipulate ...

[woff2/ttf] Round trip brotli compress & uncompress

What are the implications and co n siderations if I use a brotli tool to compress, then decompress a font file, first to WOFF2 , then back to ttf ?

My gained advantage is obvious. You just look at the files.
Licenses are unharmed by the proces AFAIS . Is there anything else that could prevent me ...

Re: Procedure for completely uninstall FreeOffice 2024

Now that you know how to install and uninstall stuff,
you can also just go ahead and read the documentation. Lots of it.

While “tech” evokes technology, I would not have expected you to be here before 7 o'clock.

SQL Error 1040

Good morning

Searching the forum, I get a lot of “Too Many Request” Errors upon loading a page in arbitrary locations and upon doing anything from search to opening an article, modifying user-settings to logging in. It says General Error, SQL Error and 1040.

JFYI.
