------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Aug 5 13:08:56 -0700 2005 ------- A comment from one user who has had unintential troubles from leftover spoor of previous versions - I believe the default behaviour should be to replace the existing installed version. It is a safe mode for most non-geek users. Options for multiple versions are fine, but seem to have surprising complexities - the window 98 registry spoor for 1.9.100 (after 1.9.104 installation after 1.9.118 installation), which I had to clean by hand, was over two thousand entries. In each OS (and OS version), and in each version of OO, I'd like to see the ability to hunt for previous spoor and remove it (i.e. from the installation of Z, notice that spoor of Y and X versions are there and ask if they should be cleaned up). This makes it "mom" safe. I understand the need and desire to support multiple versions in a production environment. In 'nix, it isn't unusual for a user to develop scripts to change the man, lib and executable paths to support a given version of a tool. But with the number of multimedia & hooks that OO offers, it is a huge task for an end-user to manage. So while I support the need/desire, I also want the simple behavior to just work for the 95% who just want it to work. Watching the users mail list, there are a lot of unsophisticated users of OO who will hurt themselves. To support this, it would be nice if there was were appropriate de-configure and configure (not remove) scripts/tools to enable this capability. But keep it out of the default installation sequence! Just one non-developers/victims view. 8-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
