//I am using version 2.0.4 of OpenOffice.org. My problem is :
When a text document (*.doc) residing on a USB Flash Drive is opened
and edited with the OO Writer, the file is then saved and the OO
Writer is closed, the safe removal of the USB Drive is disabled (a
message pop up telling me it's unsafe at this time). Now, the way to
overcome this problem is to shut down the "Quickstarter" by
right-clicking and selecting the "Exit Quickstarter" menu. After doing
this, the problem with USB Flash Drive disappears. If I may guess, I
think the OO still holds on the the file handle (marked in use) even
after the OO Writer is closed(!) and thus the USB Drive cannot be
safely removed. Killing the Quickstarter releases all file handles and
everything works fine again.
Since the OO Quickstarter is for use with other OO applications as
well I cannot imagine that this behavior is by-design. I consider this
a bug.
Please advise.
Could you log it with the OOo issue tracker? People shouldn't have to go
to this length to retrieve their USB drive - and most people wouldn't
make the connections you've made to solve it, so they may be corrupting
their valuable data.
I've noticed other undesirable effects of the QuickStarter on Windows
(where it remembers things that get in the way later) and wonder if it's
possible to disable it altogether.
