Libre Office Writer: Strike-out on delete rather than remove? - version-control

We occasionally see revision-suggestions for documents (usually from our attorneys) where removed content gets color coded and has a strike through it. Added content also gets its own color coding.
I had always presumed that some specialty software was used to achieve such versioning effects, but one of our salespeople just received a document from their customer and it seems to be in that "mode".
When he tries to delete anything, it simply turns lime green and gets stricken out.
Is this a feature that can get turned on/off in Libre or Open Office?
If so, where/how?

Main Menu - Edit - Changes submenu

This feature is called Track Changes and it allows you to pass documents back and forth and see who made changes. The feature is accessible under the Edit -> Changes menu. Within this menu are 6 items:
Record
Protect Records...
Show
Accept or Reject...
Comment...
Merge Documents...
I should mention I'm using LibreOffice Version 3.6.4.3 (Build ID: 2ef5aff), but this menu should be identical in previous versions as well as OpenOffice.
You can see other peoples changes by checking/unchecking the Show item. If you want to disable/enable the recording of changes you check/uncheck Record. Finally if you want to incorporate other peoples changes you check/uncheck Accept or Reject....
Here are some additional resources to get you started if you want to actually do more than just disable this feature.

Openstreetmap - How to edit and delete things from the map

I fixed a lot of things in my local area like deleted places that don't exist anymore, moved things to the correct location and added new things to the map.
When I open up maps.me, the only edits that are visible are new hotels and restaurants and things I added to the map. But anything I deleted or moved doesnt show on the map. Also some places I added to the map dont show so its selectively choosing which new places I add.
I dont understand it, how can I make ALL my edits go live?
All your edits are immediately live. It just takes some time for OSM-based software to pick up your changes. Each software has a different update delay. I don't know the details for Maps.ME. If you want to see your changes almost immediately (after 1-2 hours) checkout OsmAnd with the live subscription. This allows you to get hourly map updates.

Smart Form changes not reflecting in site. #Ektron

I have edited my existing smart form in smart form configurations in settings menu.
Then I have published and updated the smart form in contents folder properties.
Now I went to particular content which is using that particular smart form in CMS 400 editor and I can see the changes.
But when I go through the page in browser it still shows the old smart form.Unable to reflect changes in browser. please help me.
Thanks in advance
It would help to know what version you're running. That being said, there are a few things that could be going on here...
Caching
FrameworkAPI caching might be turned on, in which case you'd have to wait for the cache expiration or recycle the app pool in order to see updated content. Caching is enabled in web.config by changing the defaultContainer property in this section to Cache.
<ektron.framework.services>
<unity configSource="ektron.cms.framework.unity.config"/>
<framework defaultContainer="Default" childContainer="BusinessObjects"/>
</ektron.framework.services>
Republish the content
Changes to a smart form definition won't immediately trickle down to all content blocks using that particular smart form. If you add a field (for instance), that field won't exist on any content blocks unless you open up that content block in edit mode and republish it. It will automatically be added to the content block when you click Edit, but that change won't be saved until you click publish.

Play Framework form with history

I'm working on an application using Play 2.0.4 in Scala, and one of the features I was asked to implement is to build a form that remembers all of the edit history. Basically, there should be a button next to every field that shows the details of every change, because the app users may want to rollback or use the edit history information later.
The first idea pops up in my mind is to assign a hidden div to every field that appends every change, and only shows the div when users click on the corresponding button. This doesn't sound very hard, but I feel like it may make the HTML a mess (since each user has his own record, each record has many fields). Or I could make a copy of the database and store all the changes inside, with the primary keys changed to be both the id of the form, and the edit time.
Thoughts? Am I overthinking the problem? Is there a more elegant way to store all of the edit history? We estimate that there would only be around 200 people in the company using it, so I guess I can let efficiency slide a little...
Thanks in advance.
I would normalize and persist the record in the database. This would allow you to have history on changes by having a history table for each section that they with to rollback.
This would allow manageability of restorations based on sets of data and significant changes can be tracked. Managing each field separately would be very cumbersome and least pragmatic.

Updating model behind the editor when file has been refreshed

I am writing multi-tab editor for Eclipse. This plug-in has several tabs and the last one is the text source - something similar to the plugin.xml editor in PDE.
There is some model behind it which is used to show some information in tabs which are base on the data in the text source. User may edit source and when he/she switches to another tab the model is updated. That works fine.
The problem is when someone edits source file in an external editor. Then refresh project and the model should be also refreshed. But how can I achieve this?
I tried to use addResourceChangeListener, it notifies my with pre-refresh events, but it doesn't contain information if my file is going to be updated (e.g. only project resource if someone tried to refresh the whole project).
Other idea I had was to add document listener when a pre-refresh event comes and to remove it in the post-change handler. However here the problem is that if file hasn't changed and hasn't been updated no post-change event is sent, so I stay with unnecessary document listener which will be informed about all edits done by user in the last (source) tab.
I will appreciate any help.
A Refresh, when it finds changed files, will report them as having been changed. You probably mean to listen to the POST_CHANGE notification as shown at http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Resource-deltas/resource-deltas.html .

Stop form from open when no records

I have a data entry form that when it closes opens another form for further updating the just newly entered data. However, at times no further update is necessary. How can I suppress the 2nd form from opening when there is no need for further update? Presently the form opens even when there are no recordsets present. (need a similar Event like for the report "On No Data")
Have a bit field such as a checkbox with default set to true open second form. Uncheck it to avoid the system from opening the next form. You will need to handle this in your code and check if that check box is checked or not.
Of course we will need more details such as why you are currently opening this second form...in addition, cant you check if any changes were made and if they were then open that second form else dont? Also what lang ?
Without knowing more about what you're working on, I'd say you would have to modify the process that shuts down the first form to check if the second form is needed. In .NET, for example, you could add code to the OnClosing event for a WinForm to check. If it's needed, open it as normal, if not then don't.
Subject: Tool Kits. Tool Kits consist of 1 or more tools. If tools already exist, no need for 2nd form to pop up. If tools are new, I need to fill in one of the 3 fields in the drop down listing. I like the idea of adding code to the OnClosing event, but do not understand what you mean by WinForm.
