When iam at home we will meet each other in IRC than we will get your cchost copy working. And then i can give you small "lessons" to do some stuff in ccHost. :-)<div><br></div><div>Michael<br><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Francis Bond pointed me to the source package from Ubuntu. As far as I can tell it doesn't build the open office packages even though it should in theory. Digging around the various source packages though there is an openoffice.org-dev package which provides:<br>
/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.0/program/gengal<br>
<br>
You can use this to build the sdg, sdv and thm files.<div class="im"><br>

Chovy and John wants this function anyway :) So maybe we can combine this.<br>
First write a function to get all cliparts for one tag. And the neyt step generate a packe for OO out of this.<br>
<br>
Chovy and John can you give adrian your idea how the export as zip should work?<br>
When it is clear Adrian can write a script for cchost (hope victor can help him to get in)<br>

I think there are two good ways to achieve this. Both depend on creating png versions of the images so they work nicely with OpenOffice.<br>
<br>
The first is to be able to export tags - we then export each tag individually and create a gallery from it.<br>
<br>
The second approach is to have a way to build an open office release that includes the various files in a suitable category/tag hierarchy. This used to be how the releases were done, but the 0.19 release categorised files by author which is far less useful.<br>
<br>
The second approach serves my purposes a lot more, so I'm keen to look into that route. It should work out that both will be achieved at once, since exporting a single category seems to be a reasonable prerequisite to exporting all categories. I could do with some help getting a ccHost instance set up properly (mine runs but looks nothing like the current beta site) and getting an overview of the database schema.<br>
<br>
I'll be hanging out on IRC this evening (sad as that is) and digging into this to see what I can work out.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
