Bug#366891: openoffice needs 3.9 megabytes in $HOME just to test drive
Package: openoffice.org-common
Version: 2.0.2-2
Severity: wishlist
$ oowriter
$ du -sh .openoffice.org2
3.9M .openoffice.org2
3.9M just to test drive.
Isn't there something wasteful about copying
imagecache/res_commandimagelist_lc_* etc. to the user's home directory, and
manipulating such large files?
Let the power users cache so much stuff, wouldn't regular users be
fine with static copies of toolbar images or whatever from /usr?
Anyway, that is 3.9MB is just what accumulated on day one. I bet it grows.
One goes into options and can reduce the memory used for graphics to
"1MB", but that didn't help. But that sort of adjustment up or down
should be left to power users anyway.
Anyway, are you sure you need to cache so much in $HOME by default?
