Hi all,
So I managed to install SFOS on my old Gemini PDA - it’s great to play with SF again, not used it since I had my Jolla Phone about 12 years ago… although it does oddly look veeeryyy similar
Anyway I note that 4.6 version I have has a forked Calligra docs reader but are there any native full office suites that I can actually make documents, spreadsheets etc on? Looking at the native store and Storeman I can’t anything
Many thanks
You can install Containers app from Chum, make a container and install libreoffice there. This is not ideal but at least it works.
There is:
But its not native and also not opensource
You can find the native spreadsheet app Ielig:Calc in Jolla store. Today you can create spreadsheets, import / export the data as CSV or create a PDF. The next release I’am working on will be able to read / write .ods files (Open Document format for Spreadsheet, the Libre Office Calc file format). You are invited to contribute as a tester, please send a private message here or use the email under help inside the app.
Collabora office is a useful libreoffice android app to open and edit text or spreadsheets.
Do you have plans for something like PDF and Word ? Thanks!
I was a long time user of WordPerfect, so I have no real experience with M$ Word or that. So, no.
What do you mean here with PDF?
Ok thanks for the info, no problem about the PDF was a mistype from me sorry!
This is a brilliant response thank you, I hadn’t known about Chum, got it now and found a great old school text editor called Word Grinder I’ll probably use now
Containers - again thanks so much, having issues getting it working, read all the instructions on GitHub but no dice…but would love to get Abiword or Libre going, I’ll raise a new topic here before I start going CLI troubleshooting, thanks again for the pointers
Cheers I do have this, had a play, it’s a nice little app thanks
On the way to the upcomming release 0.5 of the native app Ielig:Calc I have published a test version here. You are invited for tests of the new features as export / import of .ods files (.ods as in Libre Office). And if you catch an error you are welcome. The test version stands still on 0.4 (as in Store), the new release number will granted when the final version is ready for uploading in the Jolla Store.
The new release support the basic .ods feature as described under help and function help. Only single page spreadsheets are supported but you can try out what happens with multi page spreadsheets. And there is no support for embedded objects like graphics today.
For more detail discussions please use the email under Help. Now I start in a few days of vacation and will be back in one week. On vacation I will answer only to emails.
Happy testing!
I used it on FreeBSD. IIRC it is written in Qt.
I use lelig:calc occasionally it’s really nice! Is there anywhere something like a changelog? If you want to have feedback that would help. At the moment I can say it installs nicely and is running smooth 
Thank you for still improving this tiny little gem.
Thanks for testing. And sorry, there is no real changelog. Here a short list of big and little changes as I can remember:
.ods support. This is the big one.
integration of quazip as a part of the .ods job
dialogs for file open and file save to the file system
starting in direct access/saving with a url. But there is no authorisation today.
enhanced list “saved sheets”
new pdf export (no use of Sailfish webview furthermore)
cell dimensions now in cm (for different resulotions → C2)
a progress bar for opening bigger sheets
some optimisations e.g. during creation of the grid
and of course I killed many of these bugs. Maybe there are more but I don’t remember anymore.
The release 0.5 of Ielig Calc, the native spreadsheet, is in the Store now.
As described above there are many improvements.So you can now create .ods files readable for e.g. Libre Office Calc.
A last minute change offered a smaller header for landscape orientation on phone or tablet. Please remind the support for “real” keyboards, there is a setting for keyboard arrow keys.
Thanks for testing, especially to Ladislav.
Errors, request & ideas are welcome. Please use the email address under help.
Thanks for the Update, how to open a saved sheet, clicking on it does not open it. Tried also to press and hold it and selected “edit” doesn’t do it.
Thanks for your finding. If you have a short click the sheet should open. Having a long click a little menu will shown: edit / remove.
When I click on edit I see the page you show in your post. Thats an error, of course. The idea here is: open a form to rename the sheet. No more today. Saving the sheet with a different name will do the trick too.
Please try again: create a new sheet (can be empty), save it and then try to open. Will it work? Maybe you find something happens before (when saving e.g.).
Yes, then it opens and works.
The file in my screenshot above was an .ods file that was saved to the local database, so that may be a problem (feature not supported yet i guess).
Thanks. I will check this.
I have another find:
If you set the cell-column narrower, it is not saved (.ods File), cell-height seems to be saved when open it again.
