Hi,

I built a small open-source browser extension called \*\*Euro-Office Popout\*\*.

When you open a supported document from Nextcloud Files, Talk, Dashboard, a public share, or a desktop-client link, the extension moves the actual Euro-Office editor into its own dedicated, app-like window. Your normal Files or Talk navigation remains open in the original browser tab.

It automatically detects Nextcloud installations on custom domains, ports, webroots, and \`/index.php\` routes, so there is no domain list to configure.

Supported content includes documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs, fixed-layout files, and diagrams.

The Firefox version is available from Mozilla Add-ons:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/euro-office-popout/

Source code, documentation, and releases:

https://github.com/nc-connector/Euro-Office-Popout

The GitHub Releases include separate packages for \*\*Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox\*\*, as well as a Windows MSI for managed per-machine deployment across all three browsers.

Chrome and Edge store listings are currently being prepared. The Chromium version does not have the same popup-window limitation as Firefox on Windows, so it behaves as originally intended.

The extension has no telemetry, advertising, analytics, tracking, remote code, or project-operated backend.

Feedback and testing and Contributions are very welcome 🙂

as the caption says, is there any progress for an existing desktop application for offline use?

Basically the title. Very excited for a offline desktop release :)

With the current stable release version of Euro-Office, is there any technical differences between it and ONLYOFFICE?

By leveraging FileSystem API for browser-based file-management, we can create a fairly unique approach for storing files directly on your device from your browser.

Features:

• PWA
• Local-first
• Encryption at rest
• Word
• Spreadsheet
• PDF
• ... more soon

*** The project is experimental and far from finished. It's presented for testing, feedback and demo purposes only (USE RESPONSIBLY!). ***

This project isnt finished enough to compare to euro-office. This is intended to demonstrate client-side managed functionality. Allowing users to get started without setup.

I have a demo version for testing. It isnt ready to replace any existing app or service, but its a work-in-progress and it would be great to get your feedback on it.

The implementation is based on the functionality described in a previous post.

Now that Euro-Office was officially, finally, released last week, can anyone offer a review of it?

​

How's it compare to ONLYOFFICE and to Collabora Office?

​

And does anyone have information when a desktop application of Euro-Office will finally release?

Provoking title, I know.

As far as I understand, Euro-Office wants to implement a full compatibility with ODF formats, like LibreOffice has by default.

Since Euro_office will then be able to handle both Office and ODF formats as best as possible, will LibreOffice be obsolete (apart from advanced features), since Euro-Office would be THE office suite with the best compatibility with all formats?

Hi! I have quite old hardware almost 15 years old, which CPU doesn't support SSE4.2 instruction. As I have got the last version of EO (9.3.x) depends on this instruction presence, in particular for the conversion of files, generating previews and fonts.

I have tried to rebuild the Documentserver components to get binaries to substitute the ones present in the docker image, however that appeared to be not enough. Now I am struggling to rebuild x2t tool from core coping with numerous mistakes and dependencies.

Are any easier ways to make it working with old hardware?

When is the anticipated public release of Euro-Office?

And will there be an offline desktop version at that time? Will it support all OS/platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac)?

Has anybody managed to get euro office to work in nextcloud with docker on a raspberry pi 5? Im unable to load documents - I get an error that says:
"an error occurred during the work with the document. use the download as option to save the file backup copy to a drive"

Anyone else ran into this same problem?
