I have been looking at creating debian compliant menu settings for OOo and have come up with a possible error with all the menu items. currently they are all setup for running the commands from /usr/lib/openoffice/programs where there are a selection of script files for running OOo in its various forms. This is done by appending an entry to the command in the form of private:factory/swriter where swriter can be replaced with any other app eg scalc or sgraph etc. If I install OOo then run it for the first time from the menu then it will cause an error ( or run the setup in interactive mode?) which is what we are trying to avoid with the /usr/bin/openoffice script. I can suggest a couple of solutions to this problem. 1. Change all the menu items so that they invoke /usr/bin/openoffice with the private:factory/ addition tagged on the end. ( We may need to change the Openoffice script so that after it has run the setup program it then runs the soffice prog after so that the users does not have to press twice!) 2. Change the files in /usr/lib/openoffice/programs so that they use the /usr/bin/openoffice script what does everybody think? Once we have this sorted I will have a go at the Debian menus if nobody else has started. john -- John Cooper |Phone 0114 223 3052 Your Senior IT Administrator |Fax 0114 290 9192 Your Communications - Sheffield |email john.cooper@yourcommunications.co.uk ************************************************************************ Your Communications Ltd Portland House Moorfield Sheffield S3 8UG Switchboard number : 0114 290 9090 The information contained in this e-mail is intended only for the individual to whom it is addressed.
