Thanks walter1950 for sharing this
- The fact that LibreOffice is highly costumizable for instance for the Pinephone:
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...614&page=5
- has encouraged me to make another tests. Who wants to be debugger of an app like Abiword, an app for which developement has basically stopped then years ago?
- So I still have LibreOffice to test if Abiword fails and can avoid going completely crazy looking for a wordprocessor for the Pinephone which works for my use case if Abiword should not work.
- Wordprocessor, text editor, I am not an expert in this field, and I do not know the exact definitions of these terms. So let's stick with Abiword and LibreOffice Writer.
- I did another test and created with Abiword a file and save it in the .odt format on an Ubuntu PC
- This is also the format in wich LibreOffice saves files.
- I created another file with LibreOffice Writer in the .odt format on my Ubuntu PC.
- I stored both of these files to an SD card.
- Then I was able to open the file I have created with Abiword in the .odt format on my Pinephone with Abiwrod and had not the issues I described above.
- Also the LibreOffice Writer file I created on my Ubuntu PC which i stored on an SD card and opened it with LibreOffice Writer on my Pinephone was perfect.
- But I think it needs further testing especially the issues I experienced with Abiword files I created on the Pinephone, then edited on my Ubuntu PC, which had issues when I opened those files again on the Pinephone.
- it remains to be seen if the issues I described above can be solved by choosing the .odt formatl
