------- Additional comments from [email protected] Thu Mar 19 07:41:50 +0000 2009 ------- To dev team, Please consider also to correct the embedded macro "openoffice.org.Tools.ModuleControls".getFileName that does not work anymore under Windows OS, because of lack of initialization (since 90219 code adds). Curiously the correct code there exist BUT is commented out. Please consider also to correct the UNO IDL documentation : >From a Macro developer point of view (not from a UNO developer point of view), there is no clear statement that now the initialization is mandatory (since http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=90219 code adds): instead the interface is said to be "Usage restrictions : optional". So either the interface is mandatory, and both UNO docs and predefined macro "openoffice.org.Tools.ModuleControls".getFileName must be corrected, either the "old/historic" default behavior of opening an "open dialog" is restored. Moreover I would say that,from a macro developer point of view, if one is not satisfied by the default behavior, he/she will search naturally for a way to modify it : anyone skilled knows that filepicker are mainly open or save dialogs: if open is not what is expected, one will search for the way to have a "save" dialog, and then will use Xinitialization. On the contrary, having a dialog totally failing, generating an exception, is something that only can lead to confusion, because -versus the present state of the documentation and samples (MacroTools.getFileName)-, one CANNOT understand clearly where the error comes from (unless by reading this topic and 90219). So anything will be better than the present situation (due to 90219 code adds). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
