------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Feb 16 04:52:55 -0800 2005 ------- The password dialog for loading must accept any password the user whants to enter, while the dialog for saving can introduce some restrictions. For example the password creation dialog that is shown on saving does not allow to enter a password shorter that 5 characters, but the loading dialog allows to enter even empty password. The reason for this is that theoretically OOo encrypted documents can be generated by third-party components and the office must be able to load such documents. The restriction for the password maximal length is there for historical reasons. I have ported it to the password creation dialog from the sfx code during dialog design and this restriction existed even in 5.2 code. Such a restriction was required in the new implementation to allow SO6.0 ( OOo1.0.x ) to load encrypted documents generated by newer versions since the old sfx approach had the password length limit even in loading password dialog. But the quiet ignoring of additional symbols in the password creation dialog makes the current behaviour errorneous. So in general there is no problem to remove the limit for the password except that SO6.0 ( OOo1.0.x ) will not be able to open documents encrypted with password longer than 16 characters. I am not sure whether it is acceptable. If it is not, the password dialog should probably output a warning that not more than 16 characters can be entered in this case ( although each new character is shoun by '*' symbol it is probably still not so recognizable that the overflowing characters are ignored ). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
