Bug ID: 161548
Summary: Could each component (Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw,
etc.) have its own accessible application name?
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Blocks: 36549
Currently all components of LibreOffice, i.e., Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw,
etc. have an accessible application name of "soffice". As a result, Orca has an
"soffice" script which contains heuristics to determine if a given event,
object to present, etc., is coming from Writer, Calc, Impress, ...
What I would really like to do is have a dedicated Writer script, and a
dedicated Calc script, and a dedicated Impress script. That would eliminate the
need for the "soffice" script heuristics which would be good for performance.
In addition, it would mean Orca could easily use AtspiCollection on everything
that isn't Calc, see
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156657#c3, in particular:
> The changes I'm making to Orca will be to use AtspiCollection **any time the
> task is to find one or more descendants**. And Orca does that often enough --
> including for its Flat Review feature which is notoriously non-performant.
> AtspiCollection will fix that.

Michael, is this an easy thing or a hard thing?
