That' what I wrote ;-):
Gallery and template extensions are easy to be integrated in OOo (just
click on "Add" in "Tools - Extension manager" and search for the .oxt

search for the newly installed extensions.
Yes you are right. Or are there any way to reinitialize the list of
gallery and templates? It would be a very user friendly feature.
Are you sure that you need a restart in case of templates? I thought it
already works for templates, never tested it for galleries.
It does work for the gallery too, if the galleries are *not* shown while
installing the extension.
Anyway, IMHO it *should* work. There is no reason for a restart except
the fact that until now nobody planned for this feature. Technically it
isn't necessary to restart.
So what we need isn't a hint but a bugfix. :-)
Thanks for clarification.
KAMI: Perhaps there would be a chance to update the galleries after
installing the extension?
Besides that I wanted to remind all interested people to my documentation at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Non-code_extensions
Especially for gallery extensions you should read the issue
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=70412
as it points out possible problems.
Please also make sure that you create issues for all the problems you
discover when working with "non-code" extensions. We are very interested
in them.
I don't have enough programming knowledge to know if a problem occurs
because of the extension's code or it's implementation in OOo.
With KAMIs package [1] I discovered a strange behavior of the
progressing bar: The package loaded in about 10 seconds, but the bar
just started to move after eight seconds (WinXP, Intel Pentium 1,66GHz,
Core Duo, 2 GB RAM / OOo2.1.rc1).
It would be nice if you could send me a comprehensive list of all found
issues (even those you created already) to my OOo account (my user name
is mba) so that can add it to the documentation mentioned above.
I could file an issue (component framework, subcomponent UI or
extensions/www ?), if you want me to.
Even better: if you have an account for the Ooo wiki, please attach the
list of issues as an additional section yourself.
I think it's a good idea to have a central place where all work on
non-code extensions comes together and can be tracked easily.
Perhaps we should think of a central repository containing additions to
OOo directly downloadable from the program. These additions should not
only be extensions and packages, but single items as well directly to be
loaded into the galleries or template folders.
I could imagine a well designed static web page with thumbnails for
every item downloadable and automatically installing by a single click ...
And in OOo there should a menu entry (or gallery entry) "download more ..."
Just an utopia...
Best regards
Bernhard
