LibreOffice 7.3 Community: Release Notes

General improvements

Hyperlinks can now be attached to shapes tdf#123626 (Samuel Mehrbrodt, allotropia)

Footnote and endnote anchors in the end of a paragraph are now treated exactly as they already were treated in the middle for the purposes of search/replace with regular expressions, i.e. they match [\p{Control}] or [:control:] regular expression. That means that they need to be taken into account when matching text against end-of-paragraph tdf#137737 (Mike Kaganski, Collabora)

Track changes

Track change of paragraph style tdf#144272 (László Németh, NISZ)

Track insertion of empty table rows tdf#143358 (László Németh, NISZ)

Track deletion of empty table rows tdf#143359 (László Németh, NISZ)

Track changes: hide deleted table rows and tables in Hide Changes mode. Previously it was possible to "hide" them only by accepting all the deletions, because Hide Changes mode hid only the cell content, but not the deleted rows and tables, leaving empty rows and tables in the document tdf#144057 (László Németh, NISZ)

Fixed table formula calculation at track changes tdf#39828 (László Németh, NISZ)

Track changes: fix table deletion at paragraph join tdf#144058 (László Németh, NISZ)

Track changes: keep format of hints. When a text has multiple character formatting settings enabled and a new one is applied with tracked changes, only one of the former settings is restored upon rejecting the changes. tdf#144173 (László Németh, NISZ)

Track format changes of the actual word. If there is no text selection, character formattings are applied on the word under the text cursor, now with storing the original direct character formatting in a redline "extra data" for rejection of the tracked formatting change. tdf#143939 (László Németh, NISZ)

Performance

Increased an opening speed for DOCX files with over 200 pages long table tdf#135683 (Noel Grandin, Collabora)

Increased a PDF export speed of some complex documents tdf#125892 (Noel Grandin, Collabora)

Interesting thread that sent me on a hunt.

Libreoffice - How to achieve WYSIWYG color translation between screen and printer?
"There is no solution to this problem and it is way beyond LO."

Suggested workflow
"This is not a job for an office suite, but rather a post-processing tool, such as ghostscript (gs) or pdftk that can manipulate PDF files. It is possible to export greyscale pages to one PDF and all colour pages to another PDF. The colour PDF can then, if required, be converted from RGB to CMYK, although any decent print shop can do this anyway. Example ghostscript command:"

Code:

$ gs -o cmyk.pdf -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -sProcessColorModel=/DeviceCMYK -sColorConversionStrategy=CMYK -sColorConversionStrategyForImages=CMYK rgb.pdf

RGB to CMYK colorspace not available in Libre
"Very sorry to know that the solution is nor near."

talking about user friendliness...

Incidentally i did some digging in my filesystem and found out that calligra ships a whole lot of color profiles in its /usr/share/color directory, perhaps some relics of the time when krita was bundled to their suite, but based on this it could have some color management awereness. I wonder what options Microsoft Office offers...
