------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Jan 28 20:12:30 +0000 2011 ------- Sorry this post is almost off topic and "spamish", but in the end I think it deserved to land here before I leave OOo for now. Dear Lutz Hoeger (responsible product manager), I was unable to find single response in this thread from you, to stand out and validate your decision. Or eventually to admit mistake or something. (if you did, sorry, I can't find you in this mess of posts and advices with quick fixes) In case you really never bothered to write anything here, you are total coward for me (that's the better part), and from factual point of view you are something I already wrote here (but will not repeat it, because some people take it as pure offense, while I was meaning it more literally as a fact) (that's the worse part). Anyway, I have also seen some positive voices who do appreciate the change. This is beyond my understanding, but I'm glad at least some people did like it. Anyway, I did uninstall OOo, install LibreOffice, and guess what, ODF documents have colored icons. XLS took me another few clicks of mouse to set up. Rest of OOo macros and settings were automatically adopted. So far smooth ride. @cyborg1024: About LibreOffice developers ... I didn't do any huge research, but I'm afraid you have fell to be victim of PR scam. According to my quick look on the things I would say Novell moved go-OOo team out into wild to make it look more independent (AFAIK they are still paying their salaries), and renamed to whole thing to LibreOffice plus made that PR stuff around to make it look like OOo devs from Oracle did run away (which is probably true in particular individual cases, but that's it, no team exodus). Anyway, if I'm right, then I have to say "well done Novell", because they certainly got lot of media exposure and support, much more then before with their go patches. Disclaimer: this information is based on very poor research, so I may be still as wrong as you were. :D But it makes lot of sense to me. Anyway, I'm far from happy, because the SUN is gone, and whatever my feelings toward it and OOo project were (i.e. not ideal), it has been tremendous effort and amount of work. Yes, I do object a lot about how OOo is written, but in the end it's the best office suite for my needs (tried KOffice which looks to be written much more to my taste in terms of source code, and guess what, totally unusable for my usage scenarios). So I have to thank SUN sincerely for such a great tool. And I really hope Oracle will continue to support it at least enough to make it survive. Thank you beforehand for that. Good luck with those efforts, I will be appreciate your hard work in a bit tuned up delivery trough LibreOffice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
