Subject: Re: [TESTING] Applying openoffice-4.1.2-patch1 for Windows

[ ... ]
PS:
However, I've a point that could be improved.

The name of the script files are very long. Same for the Readme. Inside
the zip'ed file there is no need to repeat the complete patch name
structure. IMHO they're better recognizable when it's just an
"Apply.bat", "Revert.bat" and "Readme_Win.txt".

I looked into the naming.  These changes will help:

  1. There is no longer any need for -apply in the names now that there is a 
single distribution that provides a script and provides manual instructions as 
an alternative.

  2. There is no reason to mention -Windows in the name of a .bat file, since 
that is where those run these days.

  3. I still want to be specific to 4.1.2-patch1 so that it is always clear what 
these are about, wherever the materials happen to be found on an user's PC.  That 
should be evident without examining the .bat file or even knowing how to do that 
without causing it to be executed [;<).  (It's a bit like the reasoning to have 
the README available to download directly so it can be read without downloading 
the full .zip.)

I'll do all of this in a 0.2.0 beta that I'll build today, Sunday.  There are 
some other suggestions that I will look into, after those are in the dev SVN, 
that may improve the text more.  At this point, I am concerned about 
introducing regressions.

I don't see this too negative. The good thing is: The regression cannot hide itself in an ASCII text. ;-)

Thanks a lot for providing the script files. This will be a great help
for the normal users.

If you need more details or tests just tell me.
