------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed May 26 09:27:30 +0000 2010 ------- When an extension is installed, it can be used immediately without restarting OOo. This feature is not always appropriate, because the extension may rely on the OnStartApp event to initialize itself when OOo is started. When the extension is installed to a running OOo, the event is not fired and the state of the extension is inconsistent. There can be a contradiction between allowing extensions to catch events when OOo is started, and allowing the user to add extensions to a running OOo and to use them immediately. The developer of the extension should be able to specify that the newly installed extension can be used only when OOo is restarted. Moreover, if the extension uses global variables, updating the extension while OOo is running completely wipes out the contents of these variables (at least if the extension is written in C++), which isn't a good thing. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
