------- Additional comments from [email protected] Mon Feb 8 23:37:55 +0000 2010 ------- If an extension contains a file description.xml having an extension-description element where the xlink:href is an URL starting with http:// then the extension manager does not show up any more. How to reproduce this problem quickly: 1. Open the directory ~/Library/Application\ Support/OpenOffice.org/3/user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages This is the location where OpenOffice stores extensions. 2. Open a subdirectory and its subdirectory. You should see the description.xml of one of your OO extensions (I assume that you have installed at least one). 3. Add the following lines to description.xml: <extension-description> <src xlink:href="http://www.somehost.com/somedirectory/extension-description.txt"; lang="en" /> </extension-description> 4. Safe this description.xml. 5. Restart OpenOffice 6. Bring up "Extension Manager..." Result: Extension Manager will not come up. It is impossible to uninstall the extension through OO. To Recover: Open the file again, delete the "extension-description" element. Note: From the developer documentation it is not clear that extension-description has to point to a local file. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
