Greetings all, Just updated to OOo 3.3.1 (build 9420), and discovered that I can't rename any OOo document type to another document type (I was trying .ODT to .ZIP) nor can I delete any OOo file at all.
The error message says, "file may be in use" - only it obviously isn't. I first tried checking what handles were open in the system, on the file I was renaming - none were. Then I repeated the delete attempt while keeping all file operations monitored, and again no luck. Googling found me a post of a guy with the same problem, solved by closing the OOo starter and rebooting. I hadn't the starter running, and rebooting being required strongly hinted to a different cause altogether. Examining what OOo code was injected into Explorer.exe as helper DLL's got me on "shlxthdl.dll", v3.0.500.0. Renaming to __shlxthdl.dll, and changing user to unload / reload Explorer.exe (no need of a full reboot) leaved OOo working, Details on the Explorer view not working (as expected) and delete and rename functions restored. This is only a dirty hack! I believe there is some return value needing to be fixed somewhere inside shlxthdl.dll. Cheers, Leonardo -- The cock doth craw, the day doth daw, the channerin' worm doth chide: gin we be mist oot o' oor place, a sair pain we maun bide. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
