Hi,
i have changed the about dialog box a little bit and would like to get
your feedback.
I added a new key in the version.ini/versionrc
Revision=<svn_revison_number>
But after some experimenting I don't use this key right now but left it
in the version file for further references to the underlying revision.
I changed the value of buildid in the version file to
e.g. versionrc
###
buildid=340dev1 (Revision:1294675)
# instead of
buildid=340dev1(Build:9586)
###
If the space is a real problem, then simple avoid it. I don't see any
problems from the usability point of view.
The minor.mk includes
###
RSCVERSION=340
RSCREVISION=340dev1(Build:9586)
BUILD=9586
LAST_MINOR=dev1
SOURCEVERSION=AOO340
###
I haven't yet understand completely where the values are used and
decided to adapt the replacement in scriptitems.pm for now.
Ariel mentioned already some problems on windows if we simply change the
4 digit buildid to the svn revision.
In the end I modified my --with-build-version switch and drop the
revision from here. I like the date and time in the about box. As we
have seen earlier today with the windows dev snapshot it can be very
useful to check easy and fast if the correct build were used.

Ok I also changed the background color of this text field because it
looked strange before (at least on MacOS).
The result on MacOS can you review here

I agree with Andrea, indeed a nice work that should become reality.
And to make the text parts copy & paste able would be really helpful.
More rework on the about box will be done for future versions. But for a
3.4 I think it should be ok now.
Right.
Any opinions?
OOo 3.3 doesn't seem to have a hint to the used license. Neither in the
About dialog nor in the help. So, a hint of the used license would be
good and IMHO a perfect place there. Example:
"Apache OpenOffice is provided under the [Apache License, Version 2.0 |
http://www.apache.org/licenses/] (ALv2)."
