[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 123959] Please bring back systray quickstarter for Linux
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123959 soltesz.and...@gmail.com changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|WONTFIX |--- Status|RESOLVED|REOPENED Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #6 from soltesz.and...@gmail.com --- IMHO, removing the Quickstarter for Linux was a huge mistake and resulted in a big performance regression for LibreOffice 6.1+. It doesn't matter if the previous solution worked perfectly or not, it gave a pretty big performance boost for LibreOffice on Linux systems. Nobody cares if it wasn't visible as an tray icon, the performance boost was its main function and reason for existence. With the Quickstarter in LibreOffice 5.x, spreadsheet and text document opening operations were done in ~1 second on my 6 year old system (still fairly powerful, 8-core AMD FX8150, 24 GB RAM, nvme SSD...etc). The same operation now takes 3-4 seconds with LibreOffice v6.4.7 (doesn't seem better on v7.x either). It also doesn't get much better for second and third file openings. This makes day-to-day work with LibreOffice very bad on Linux desktops and makes it massively sub-par compared to the Windows version. Please, reconsider implementing a new Quickstarter for Linux or bring back the old one. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123959 --- Comment #5 from Archisman Panigrahi --- I have upgraded to version 6.2 using the official PPA, and it is a lot faster now (now files open in 2-3 seconds, Flatpak version of 6.2 was slower). It seems that quickstarter is not much required anymore. I understand why the change was initiated. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Nothing to display it in, except somewhere hidden. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

The reason to remove the quickstarter from Linux was multiple problems with it causing crashes (Rene Engelhard has details), while the functionality is only implemented for gtk2 - so no way to use it with gtk3 or kde vcl plugins, and so requiring non-native look and feel for LO to (supposedly?) be able to use the function; no active maintainers who would fix all those bugs or implement it for other plugins, which makes "maintenance" of it kind of fake: it compiles, but no one knows how to fix/extend real problems. If a function is needed for people, then among those interested people a maintainer is expected to appear, as soon as the function is declared obsolete and prepared to removal, with some proposal how to proceed without dumping it; that didn't happen. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

The mentioned --quickstarter never worked correctly (don't have the bug number but there likely is one). Please give some proof to the "7-8sec" point (at least not for the second start). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123959 --- Comment #1 from Archisman Panigrahi --- Also, quickstarter is still there in Windows (as of version 6.2) and works perfectly. Only the Linux version was removed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
