Alpha 3 and "About NeoOffice..."

"About NeoOffice" screen displays "OpenOffice 2.0.2 Patch 0" instead of "NeoOffice 2.0 Alpha 3 Patch 0".

You seems to have forgotten a patch Smile

I don't see any reference to OpenOffice.org 2.0.2 in the Help -> About dialog. Which version of Neo Alpha did you apply the patch to? Alpha or Alpha 2? Also, did you build your own copy of NeoOffice or did you get your installer through the EAP download site?

Same here. I see "OpenOffice.org 2.0.2 Patch 0" in the About-Dialogue. I downloaded NeoOffice 2.0 Alpha 2 from the EAP download page, then I installed the German language Pack, and yesterday I patched it to Alpha 3 Patch 0.

I found the cause of this problem. It is caused by something in the German language pack. I just installed the German language pack and, sure enough, the Help -> About changed to OpenOffice.org when you run with German as your preferred language. Interestingly, if you quit Neo and run with English as your preferred language, the text in the Help -> About dialog shows NeoOffice.

Same problem here in italian version.

I confirmed that all language packs will cause this. Apparently, with a language pack installed, the OOo code does not look for the name of product (i.e. NeoOffice) in the configuration files and, instead, hard codes OpenOffice.org. I'll track this down and see where the OOo code is doing this.
