Here is a place to discuss issues with CompPad

[Sergey Chelnokov]

I write formula x:=20, write y:=x+20, write y=, press triangle button - nothing happens.
Wiki contains low-resolution screenshot only... How it must works?
P.S. I tried old version several years ago and can't understand now: is new version broken or I do something wrong.

Hi Sergey, can you tell me the version of CompPad and LibreOffice you are using?

[Sergey Chelnokov]

Hi!
Win 10
Libre Office 7.3.0.3
CompPad 0.3.0.3

But it seems that minimal documentation needed:

• when write = and when :=?
• must we write x= or x={} to show value?
• e.t.c.

[Toby Rule]

Try the newest unstable release, which is currently Comppad_0.4.05x.oxt (sourceforge.net). This version is reported to work with LO 7.1.5.2 and Java 8, which is the typical Java installation.

There is currently no comprehensive documentation, but here is a link to an example document which demonstrates all the features: CompPadDemo.odt (sourceforge.net)

Let me know how it goes.

[Sergey Chelnokov]

OK, CompPadDemo.odt is enough!
But comppad_0.4.05x.oxt still does nothing:

• pressing button [>] does nothing
• pressing "Evaluate expressions" from menu drops Writer
  Java version 8 update 321 (build 1.8.0_321-b07)

That's disappointing, I would expect it to work. Let me test on Windows 10 with similar configuration and I'll get back to you.

Is there any activity regarding this project? Seems like something that would be very useful considering the limited alternatives.
