Don't forget that RTF is a format from Microsoft which is a very big company. Implementing it is not so easy (take a look at https://officeprotocoldoc.z19.web.core.windows.net/files/Archive_References/%5BMSFT-RTF%5D.pdf). > > May I suggest that de developers of LO read (again) this: > http://www.ncdm.com/bloat/bloat.htm and especially the final conclusion: > > Bloat is not a technical issue, but verily a way of thinking, a "state of > mind".

If you know how to code, you can give some help, after all it's open source, if not avoid this kind of remark. > > And no I won't test it, as the developers of LO have zapped support for W7 - > maybe they can explain why a simple office program needs all the new bloat > of M$' advertising platforms pretending to be OS'es, when a program like > Irfanview still runs happily on XP, despite the appearance of numerous new > image formats, and IBM's z/OS can still run programs written in the 1970ies > and 1980ies that have never been recompiled.

Then you really compare a certainly great but small software like Irfanview which runs only on Windows and has far less features than an Office suite which runs on Linux, macOS and Windows? You're talking about z/OS which is closed OS and on closed hardware supported by one of the biggest company in computing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z/OS) so completely irrelevant Did you noticed that Noel kept on providing some patches after Buovjaga's comment? Did you at least read the commits descriptions and the optimizations done? Again, if you know how to code, you're welcome to provide some help. If you've got some money, you can donate to TDF or companies working on LO. If you have some time, you can contribute to translate or test LO. If you don't want/can't to do any of these, just don't complain and stop the despising. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
