Hi :) I'm not sure this really helps with the Macro issue does it? It's not the thread i was thinking about and it's a bit later than i was hoping for, sorry. Regards from Tom :)

The Extension Manager GUI stability is greatly improved. No crashes! Yea! Problems encountered were largely due to the EM installing (or attempting to install) defective packages, primarily ".zips". Some only vaguely resembled an OXT package. IMO at a minimum a package that cannot be uninstalled with standard tools, i.e.: unopkg. should be rejected. It seems that the presence of bogus packages in the cache prevented persistent completion of component registration. Repeatedly, start-up (QuickStart) and first document opening were painfully slow. Each process consuming IO in the high tens of megabytes. Changing the JRE used to 6.21 produce a geometric run-time reduction. Apparently, removing offending extensions has allowed registration processing to be completed and saved. There has been a significant and stable reduction in start-up time and IO. Opening documents after the first is fast. Subjectively much better than OO. The platform is XP SP3 running on legacy hardware: P4 - 2 MHz, 1 GB 266MHz DDR, PCI 133. No errors were reported from several invocations of "unopkg validate" (at different points in the above process). The command "unopkg reinstall --shared -v" produced the following message: "ERROR: cannot get file url from system path: -env:INIFILENAME=vnd.sun.star.pathname:c:\Software\Office\Libre\v3\program\redirect.ini Exception details: (com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException) { { Message = "cannot get file url from system path: -env:INIFILENAME=vnd.sun.star.pathname:c:\\Software\\Office\\Libre\\v3\\program\\redirect.ini", Context = (com.sun.star.uno.XInterface) @0 } }" redirect.ini has on entry: URE_BOOTSTRAP=${ORIGIN}/fundamental.ini fundamental.ini does not have a URE_BOOTSTRAP entry. None was found in any .ini file examined. LanguageTool-1.4 was uninstalled. It was generating a runtime exception about not finding a start class, locales directory not found, it couldn't write a record because it could find saxon9-dom.jar and was reporting the use of JRE version 17 (not installed on the system). The exception continued after saxon9-dom.jar was added to the system class path and to LO Java options for jre-6.21. Do any of the issues above require corrective action? If so what needs to done and/or where should I look for answers? david -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/minor-install-config-issues-tp3247894p3247894.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
