A new release of Gnumeric for AmiCygnix is now available on OS4-Depot.
Gnumeric is a spreadsheet, which is similar to Microstoft Excel and is part of the Gnome Office Suite like the text processor Abiword.


New in this release:

* New version 1.8.4 with many new features compared to the old release 1.6.3.

* Support of python plug-ins. A special python package is included.

Good job Edgar.

You couldn't use the OS4 Python?

Thanks!

No, I couldn't use the OS4 python. For Gnumeric I needed the linker library (libpython2.6.a) and the include files, which are not publically available (as far as I know).
But more important: My port offers support for things like pyGTK, pyPango etc.

Installing the new version right now. Great!

Thanks for update! I've also used Gnumeric for
some fairly complex work and it's been great.

Any chance you've ever been able to find a
solution to the off-color PIP display in
AmiCygnix?

I'd also like to remind folks where they can
really show their gratitude for CygnusEd's
efforts...

First: Thank you very much for your generous donation . And also a big thank you to the others, who made donation!

The PIP problem cannot be solved by me. I have to contact the developer of the driver.

In the meantime you could try to replace the current Radeon driver ("ATIRadeon.chip" in "Sys:Kickstart") with the one from the first OS 4.1 release (current filesize: 173508 bytes, old file: 139468 bytes). Works here on my system (SAM flex).

Important! Make a backup of you current Radeon driver!!

Finally got a quiet day to play with Gnumeric.

It looks like there might be a couple loose ends in the latest version.
When I start it, I get a few things showing up in the cygnix console:

/Cygnix/Home/root/.gtkrc-2.0:8Unable to find include file".gtkrc-2.0.mine"

** (Cygnix:CygnixPPC/bin/gnumeric-1.8.4:817): WARNING **: Invalid borders specified for theme pixmap:
        /
Cygnix/CygnixPPC/share/themes/Amiga-BlueTabs-Light/gtk-2.0/menu_hi-light.png,
borders don't fit within the image

** (Cygnix:CygnixPPC/bin/gnumeric-1.8.4:817): CRITICAL **: font_selector_set_name: assertion `font_name != NULL' 
failed


As for the Radeon driver... I don't think the devs want the testers
just using old drivers... :) ...I'll see if a bugreport hasn't been
filed already.

Thanks!

I think you should not worry about these messages. The first two messages are not caused by gnumeric itself and should also appear on startup of any other GTK application.

To the first message: The file ".gtkrc-2.0.mine" is for own GTK+ settings (for advanced GTK users), which are not overwritten by the GTK preference program "lxappearance". You could create an empty file in "Cygnix:Home/root" to remove this message.

The second message is caused by a bug in the Amiga GTK theme. I will try to fix it in the next AmiCygnix update.

The third message is a bit unclear to me. Maybe you opened a document with an unknown font in it?
