Would anyone be interested in packaging this for Debian? It provides
similar functionality to the QuickStarter for Windows
OpenOffice.org Quickstarter http://segfaultskde.berlios.de/oooqs/
OpenOffice.org Quickstarter is a small application that runs in the KDE SystemTray.
It is used to quickly start the different OpenOffice.org modules without having to go
through the K-Menu.
But instead of simple starting of applications, you can also:
* select multiple files in the usual opendialog provided by KDE to open them in
OpenOffice.org
* use a history of recently opened files
* configure the app to do one of the functions described above on a simple double click
* use the app to keep a hidden instance of OpenOffice.org in memory to achieve much
shorter startup times of the OpenOffice.org modules.
Note: The keep-in-memory-feature won't work reliably at the moment.
If you experience problems like an instance of OpenOffice.org Writer starting again and
again please turn off the OpenOffice.org quickstart-mode in the configuration dialog.
To be able to see the configuration dialog longer than 1-2 seconds in such a case, you'll
have to keep it in front permanently by selecting the option in the context menu of the
entry in kicker's tasklist or in kasbar.
I'd be willing to add it to our apt source and mirrors until OOo gets into
the archive.
