Some things that still "bug" me about OpenOffice:
1. The page ZOOM toolbar button needs to be a dropdown selection,
instead of the more cumbersome separate dialog window.
Some things are different but to zoom quickly I just hold the control
key down and scroll the mouse button.
The vast majority of users will NEVER discover that.
It is a fairly common shortcut. Both FF & TB do that. As well, I
believe, Word.
10. The installer should NOT install the pre-loader by default. That
is just invasive, rude, and shows that the programmer couldn't
properly optimize the program. What if EVERY program did that? Our
PC's would come to a crawl from the load.
Lots of programs do that including Office. Sheesh, I just installed
software for my new HP printer. Almost 800 MB of crap and it has a
quick starter.
Just because some other programs do something is no justification at
all. It either makes sense on *its own merits* or it doesn't. A
pre-loader on-by-default doesn't make sense.
BTW: Firefox doesn't have a pre-loader.
Ummm... From my recollection, if you do a custom install, the
QuickStarter is not a default install option. I do not know about the
standard install. I would imagine that so many people use it, that it is
a standard install selection.
