Very nice. I might add that there is also a system preference for turning pinching on and off in Mac OS X as of Snow Leopard..
Best wishes,
Oscar

Awesome!
For a while I had been thinking it would be nice to create a small preference pane that would allow users to set these options, but I never got around to write it. Your way is even more elegant, since you don't need to restart NeoOffice.
One thing though: do we still need two "New" submenus (one in NeoOffice, one in File)? It may be related to keyboard shortcuts, though I can't really remember.
Edit: As I had just posted this, I realized Oscar now has 2009 posts  |

In most cases, the items in the NeoOffice :: New submenu are redundant with those in the File :: New menu. However, there are some rare cases where OpenOffice.org will close the 1 x 1 pixel window and the File menu disappears. In those cases, using the NeoOffice :: New menu is the only way you have to open a new document to get things back to normal. So, I have left the menu there just to be safe.

Yeah, in the NeoOffice menu we can assign items arbitrary keyboard shortcuts (including ones with Option) using the System Preferences, and in current versions of Java, System Preferences is unable to change shortcuts in menus coming in via OpenOffice.org code.
Specifically, in my case, I have Cmd-Opt-1 set to Text Document, Cmd-Opt-2 set to Spreadsheet, Cmd-Opt-3 set to Presentation, etc.
Actually, that brings up a potential problem  Since the default document type (Open at Launch) submenu is using the same strings as the New document items, that's going to break the ability to assign keyboard shortcuts to one or another set (both sets will pick up the shortcuts; one will win). For my sake I hope New wins, since it's first in the menu, but is is possible to switch one set to the module names (Writer, Calc, Impress, etc.) instead?

Good catch. I just tested setting Command-Option-1 to "Text Document" and Mac OS X assigned the shortcut to the "Open at Launch" menu item, not the "New" menu item. This is not good so I will try changing the "Open at Launch" menu items to the module names to avoid duplicate menu item names.

OK. I found the OpenOffice.org call that will return the module name for each module and I have changed the code to put the module names in the "Open at Launch" menu. The attached image shows what the updated menu will look like.

Thanks, Patrick. Yet another piece of quick, fine work!

Most of the Dutch translations are literal, except for the first one that translates back literally as 'Show at startup'.

Thank you for the Dutch translations. I have integrated them into code and I will include them in the next NeoOffice 3.0.2 Early Access test build.
Does anyone have any translations for other languages? If so and you can post them before 21 December 2009, I can include them in the NeoOffice 3.0.2 Early Access release.

I did not translate that, OpenOffice.org handles that translation and they transalated it as - Aucun(e) -.

FYI. I have included Oscar's and Samwise's Dutch and French translations in today's NeoOffice 3.0.2 Early Access test build. Can you install today's test build and tell us if you see your menu translations?
