Hi Frank et al,
since when do we have a quick-starter for Linux? I thought this was not
Since michael and kendy deemed one necessary and CWS gtkquickstart got
integrated in m187.
Aha. Was there an announcement?
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=allfeatures&msgNo=3145
Oops, right. Sorry, must have slipped through my eyes.
In my m189, the checkbox is named "Enable systray quickstarter". No
mention of a system start - as you said, this would not be possible.
So, "enable" means start the quickstarter next time I start OOo (if it
is not already running)?
Unfortunately, there's some open questions such as the ones you raised,
since the feature mail did not contain much information, and there was
no beforehand-information. See the thread at [1] for a discussion of
this ...
Ah that thread is about this feature? Well, the discussion was so
general that I also lost track there ;-) (there is just too much to read
...)
Why don't we have the quick-starter as an optional install item anyway?
I usually disable tray-installers on Windows if they are in the setup of
a program.
Not sure how this would be possible on Unix (we would need a separate
rpm, wouldn't we?), but on Windows, the quickstarter actually *is* a
separate item in the installer.
But can you really disable installation via the MSI installer? (Probably
doing setup /a too often).
But, coming back to a more technical stand-point, how does this work?
Are there several libraries pre-loaded and occupy memory forever, or is
the memory freed again, when you start other applications that need more
memory? Of course the pre-loaded libraries would be swapped out in this
case, but then you would probably no positive effect on startup any longer.
I am just always sceptical if any process just takes some of my precious
memory just for being prepared when it needs some. (It reminds me a bit
on a towel that you put on a deck-chair to mark it yours ;-) )
