I'm migrating a bunch of spreadsheets from Debian Lenny/Openoffice to
Debian Wheezy/Libreoffice 3.5.x. This is a dedicated setup used by many
once-a-year users (who aren't chosen for their familiarity with
computers) and, for instance, boots straight into a front end when
switched on and shuts down when you close the front end. All driven by a
startup script which launches the front end and waits for it to close.
The front end is fundamentally some buttons to launch working sheets and
unchanging except that today's date is filled in when it starts, or the
user can enter a different date. Mass of macros to handle it all.
Closing the front end is by doc.close()ing in a Goodbye macro but this
leaves an soffice.bin process running and you get a 'Program is still
running' dialogue box when the machine shuts down; it goes away after a
bit but it will alarm the user. I can get rid of that by putting
'stardesktop.terminate' (is 'xdesktop.terminate' preferrred?) in the
shutdown macro but then when it next starts it wants to Recover the
front end; that's a big no-no.
Under Lenny/Openoffice there isn't this problem, when you've
doc.close()d it shuts down happily and when it's next switched on loads
the front end without complaint. I've tried doc.setmodified(FALSE) but
no joy. I suppose I could get the shutdown macro to save it and the
startup script to then delete that and copy the master back but that's
pretty horrible. Is there a sensible way to fix this?
