Hi :)
Mac is based on Bsd which is unix-based and practically a brother or sister to Gnu&Linux anyway.  
Sticking with Mac makes sense.  It gets you nearly all the way without having some of the painful 
bits.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Formulas in Calc not showing results

OK, having now rebooted, LO seems to be displaying the results of the 
formulas again.  That's a relief, and no doubt it's the reboot that 
solved the issue.  Wish I understood why such things happen, but in any 
case, thanks for pushing me in that direction.

As for:
Also with Mac i think  updates and even installing stuff seldom demands a reboot?
Correct.  In some cases with OS updates, reboot is required, but not 
usually.  Mac may also have a way to re-open all the last work after a 
shutdown, but I haven't looked into it yet (Safari browser does this, so 
maybe Apple thought about it for the entire OS).  I do hope to look into 
Linux and the like one day...

Cheers,
Carl


With Ubuntu there is some setting that allows you to make the start-up procedure open up 
everything that you had open when you shut-down.  There might be something similar on Mac but i 
don't know of good places to find out.  There must be forums or soemthing worth asking.


Apols and regards from
Tom :)

It's not the downtime but rather all the work that's open that I have to
keep track of, decide how to save and then close.  It's hard to explain
but given I work 3-4 different jobs at once and am working on new tools
that I don't know very well yet, I'm always reluctant to reboot.
Obviously I'll have to change that.

And I too can shut down processes individually on my Mac, but I don't
always know what ones apply to what programs.  Sounds easier than it is...

I'm still wondering why it's happening, and why LO is now opening the
CSV files (no re-start or re-boot yet).  In the latter case, obviously
re-starting or re-booting didn't matter.  This is all a lot more
complicated that just re-booting.

Cheers,
Carl

Lol, +1


Even on Gnu&Linux distros (mainly Ubuntu ime tbh) it's a good plan to do a reboot to ensure 
that services that are normally on haven't been stopped temporarily without you really being 
aware of it.  Of course in Gnu&Linux you could restart individual processes in order to avoid 
any down-time at all but on a desktop or mobile machine a couple of minutes of downtime is 
unlikely to matter much.

Tom :)

Restart the software or reboot the computer sometimes helps these odd glitches.
You mean that you didn't try this before asking your question?!
