------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Feb 11 00:23:51 -0800 2005 ------- Present situation: While installing OO.o the user is allowed to opt for the main modules [Writer, calc, impress, etc.], their respective 'Helps' and some additional modules [like testtool etc.] only. There is no further splitting up of these components. Requirement: Breakup the basic components into sub-components [f. e. filters for some file types, additional components which the user may not need for normal usage of the software. MS Office does this, and other common softwares also allow such 'lite mode' [making a leaner program] While installation we may allow the user to pick the required modules, f. e. if the user doesn't want to use specific filters they need not be installed for the time being. In future, if the user tries to open a file requiring the specific filter or tries to work on some function for which a specific component is required allow him to do a 'Modify Installation' after which the component comes into use. Purpose: [ I am not thorough about the code underlying OO.o and the interdependecny of the code but I think this could improve the performance issue? ] Lesser code to be loaded if the user requires to use only specific functions or part of components or the user doesn't need to use some advanced or not so common implementations or functions in different components. The performance and startup issue is something the users have been complaining for a long time. Comments from Developers on the code and performance issue will help to outline what could be done and how. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
