As this is my first post here I'd like to introduce myself as someone who is not a coder, but one who sees a lot of exciting potential in this LibreOffice project. I hope this application suite can globally serve users across many platforms, interfaces and requirements. I use OpenSUSE and Win7, and have used OOo the last four years, and used StarOffice 10 years ago. Initially I would like to highly suggest some polishes on the win32 installer for the 3.4 project:
When the first step to installing LibreOffice is the prompt to ask where to extract the install folder immediate confusion comes to many elementary PC users. I think this is primarily because this step is unusual, most Windows-based apps do not contain this step, or hide it from the user. I suggest eliminating this step. Either the installer file is packaged differently to accomplish this, or it automatically extracts the MSI, etc. into a "temp" folder in the background, which is afterwards deleted upon a successful installation. The second issue is that the install folder "C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 3" contains the version number. This is much better than the Start Menu\Programs folder "LibreOffice 3.3" which contains the point version also. I suggest removing both. Simply "LibreOffice" is enough, and is a much more common standard and expectation for Windows users. Thank you for your consideration of this! --Jared -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/design/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
