------- Additional comments from [email protected] Thu May 28 18:29:12 +0000 2009 ------- It is often very inconvenient even for experienced people to have the quickstarter turned on because every time there is an update to an extesion or they want to enable an extension, they have to manually exit the quickstarter and manually turn it on. People new to OO.o can be embarrassed by the quickstarter, because they do not know what it is for and when they install OO.o for the first time, they don't know if they would like to use this program often or not. Maybe they will use it once in a month. Why then they would need the quickstarter? If they would like to use it often, they can read about the quickstarter in the help and turn it on. But if they install OO.o for the first time, they do not notice the quickstarter at all. Some people do not understand why their extensions are not installed, because they even do not know that there is the quickstarter. When extensions are updated automatically, they require a restart. If you are new to OO.o, you need to manually exit quickstarter and then to manually launch it? This quickstarter does not save time, but wastes time by getting attension to itself. There is an issue 88692 ( http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=88692 ) that is about advising to restart. But advising is not enough, because how can you advice to restart the quickstarter? This is nonsense. If you make a complete automatic restart including quickstarter after installation of an extension, this solves almost all problems. However, concider turning it off by default. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
