------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Dec 11 13:13:07 +0000 2009 ------- @sb: Oliver is on vacation, I'll try to answer what I can, he showed me a CWS build once before he left. The CONVERT function is not broken, apparently the conversions were read from the initial configuration, but somehow adding new conversions wasn't possible, they weren't known to the application then. I just retried using OOo_3.2.0_091210_unxlngi6_install.tar.gz from sb111-instsets, but had NO problem adding a new conversion to share/registry/main.xcd, it was known to the application after having restarted it. We'd have to wait for Oliver to see if he did something different. The description in the Function Wizard certainly will have to be changed. I don't think it was documented how exactly new conversions can be added, the typical end user probably didn't know, but this feature may have been used by enterprises to administrate daily exchange rates of other currencies, for example. The online help has only "The conversion factors are given in a list in the configuration." For "ease of use" I'd prefer if the UnitConversion node would be in a separate file, but I guess given the rare use case this is not justified. Btw, the configuration files now consist of one long line of XML elements, can't we at least have line breaks? Yes, I know xmlpp works and XML editors probably would too.. anyway, would be easier to edit using an ordinary editor. Btw2, I like how schema and data are now in one file, but the <info> elements with the descriptions are lost. Any plans to re-add them, and if it was in separate schema files to not have them clutter up the configuration itself? A configuration back-end now doesn't have the chance to display them. Or did I miss something? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
