Priority: medium
Bug ID: 59286
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: Ridiculously wrong error message: "The extension
\'%Name\' does not work on this computer."
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: s...@arcor.de
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.0.1 rc
Component: Extensions
Product: LibreOffice
File
desktop/source/deployment/gui/dp_gui_dialog.src
contains a generic error message
String RID_STR_UNSUPPORTED_PLATFORM
{
Text [ en-US ] = "The extension \'%Name\' does not work on this computer.";
};
This message is triggered, e.g., when installing Duden Korrektor 6.0 in
LibreOffice 4.0.0 RC1 on Linux. The reason is probably described in bug 59237.
Now, there's clear evidence that Duden Korrektor extension does indeed work on
the computer, by installing it in, e.g., LibreOffice 3.5. So the error message
is wrong, at least in the case of Duden Korrektor.
I'm not sure if that reasoning is generally true, but I propose to change the
error message to something less dogmatic, e.g.,
The extension \'%Name\' could not be installed.
or
An error occured while trying to install extension \'%Name\'.
an possibly giving a little more information about the kind of error, if such
information is available. Something users can throw at their favourite search
engine.
Thanks,
Stephan Hennig
