A LibreOffice Extension to remove duplicates in Calc.

lo-extension-removeduplicates's Issues

Converting from Basic to C++

Hello,

There's interest in LO in using RemoveDuplicates. However, for the extension to be adopted as an .uno command it needs to be translated to C++.

Are you interested in doing it?

Not working on LibreOffice 6.1

Hey, just to let you know that the extension is not working on LO 6.1.

Can this extension be integrated into default Libreoffice install?

Is this extension written in c++?
Could youpossible submit a commit to LO to integrate it in thed efault install?

Feature request: empty one of duplicate cell instead of removing row

It would be nice to have a different mode, where removing duplicate would not remove row, leaving empty gaps instead.

Here is a screenshot of desired results:

It would be nice to be able to choose whether to leave first occurrence or the last.

LibreOffice dev requests changing license to be able to integrate your extension in LibreOffice

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85976

In bug 85976, Mike Kaganski wrote that GPLv3 does not allow LibreOffice to integrate the code of your extension, they are asking if you could make your extension available under a Mozilla Public License 2.0 compatible license? That way they can use your code as the starting point for their work.

Note that any feature request having a working extension with compatible license is already an easy hack. Just use its source code as the template that provides the required logic - it uses UNO commands, which may be easily converted to a C++ code, and assign a new UNO command to that new function.

(Given that Remove Duplicates Fast is based on Remove Duplicates (https://github.com/ACTom/lo-extension-removeduplicates) which is GPLv3, which doesn't allow to use its code in LO directly because we need an MPL-compatible license, interested parties may ask the author for changed license in a github issue.)
