Sounds both doable. I think the first one has the weakness that
everything put ito the path is then trusted, no? If someone sees this
and knows where bibus is.. ;-)
Hmm, that said, google just gave me http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Security_Enhancements#Macro_location.2C_trusted_sources...

Not that I know, but that doesn't necessarily say much. (I am no
OOo macro expert either)

Hm. Given the steps above I don't think it's possible except when you write
a script or or in python (python-uno) to do the stuff. Too much overhead imho.

I think yes, I will look how to make this best - if you want file a
wishlist bug :-).
Did you ask upstream already what they would recommend?
(either bibus or OpenOffice.org itself)
