freeeed_complete_pack-4.4.0 - PST support?

[Dennis Pielken]

Hi all,

I have tried to run Freeeed under Windows using the freeeed complete pack version 4.4.0. I followed the documentation to set it up. The application starts fine, but during startup I am informed that PST support is missing:

2014-10-25 09:55:03 0    [AWT-EventQueue-0] INFO  org.freeeed.ui.FreeEedUI  - Starting FreeEed V4.4.0, build date: Mon Jul 14 13:20:44 CEST 2014

2014-10-26 08:30:39 0    [AWT-EventQueue-0] INFO  org.freeeed.ui.FreeEedUI  - Starting FreeEed V4.4.0, build date: Mon Jul 14 13:20:44 CEST 2014

wkhtmltopdf (html to pdf printing): false

I check the documentation again which states that JPST is provided as part of the package. Checking the content of the pack, I did not find the library as part of the package.

Can somebody point me to the documentation on how to get PST support working, please? I seem to be missing something.

Best  regards
Dennis

Dennis,

under Windows these are not needed, but I agree, these message is misleading. I will fix it and inform you.

Mark,

one additional question: How can I set the "OO home directory", if openoffice is not installe din the default directory?

I am getting the following error and have not found anything the config nor the documentation:

2014-10-26 17:29:50 40830 [Thread-3] INFO  org.freeeed.print.OfficePrint  - Init Office Print...

Thanks for the support!

Dennis,

check the settings.properties file in the installation directory.

settings.properties has no variable in it for OpenOffice.  What is the OpenOffice variable that I need to add to settings.properties to set the OO directory?  I looked in the templates, but see nothing there either.  I tried digging through the files, but do not see anything that stands out as obvious for the variable that needs set.  Trying to set it on OS X, since OpenOffice.org is installed in the applications directory via /Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/ 

Thanks!

Jay

Hi, Jay,

#open_office_home=... set to the OpenOffice location (such as C\:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenOffice 4)

is your answer. 

It is found in settings-template.properties

Thank you,

Mark

Dug around, I see that now in the /dev branch.  On OS X, I get this:

55172 [Thread-4] INFO  org.freeeed.print.OfficePrint  - Init Office Print...

55173 [Thread-4] INFO  org.freeeed.print.OfficePrint  - Cannot find the default OO home directory...

55175 [Thread-4] ERROR org.freeeed.print.OfficePrint  - Open office not installed.

55176 [Thread-4] ERROR org.freeeed.print.OfficePrint  - Problem connecting to Open office

I'm not sure what directory it wants me to point at....

[Mark Kerzner]

Jay,

I have changed the code to only check for OpenOffice when the processing needs it, that is, when you are doing imaging. In this way, you can leave the OO setup for later. This is not released yet (in dev) but will be soon. When do you need it?

Also, honestly, I have not tested on Mac lately. It all depends on your goals: if you just need processing, you can use the VM. If you want to make sure it runs on the Mac, I might be forced to buy a Mac :)

Mark:

My documents have already been OCR'd, but are mostly PDF files.  I generally do not need to create new PDFs.

Nonetheless, when I attempt to Process Locally a project, I get this response:

---

4105738 [Thread-30] WARN  org.apache.hadoop.mapred.LocalJobRunner  - job_local_0007

Since the first item in it was OfficePrint.init / OfficePrint.java, I interpret that as being related to OpenOffice, but I could be entirely wrong.

Honestly, it is more convenient to process locally, as my project is several terabytes in size.

I'm happy to turn on whatever debugging is necessary to help figure out what is wrong on the Mac, and would be comfortable running the dev version if it will run.

Jay,

give me a few days, I will prepare the next build.
