|
I don't use NeoOffice Mobile. Can I somehow remove the respective item from the NeoOffice menu?

NeoOffice Mobile is include in NeoOffice as an OpenOffice.org shared extension so you can uninstall it. However, because it is a shared extension, you can only uninstall it using Terminal commands.
To uninstall NeoOffice Mobile, first quit NeoOffice as you cannot uninstall shared extensions while it is running.
Then, launch the /Applications/Utilities/Terminal command, copy the following commands into the Terminal window, press the Return key, and enter your Mac OS X user password when prompted by the Terminal application. Note: these commands assume that you have installed NeoOffice in the default /Applications/NeoOffice.app folder and have not moved or renamed your installation:
| Code: | cd /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/MacOS
sudo ./unopkg.bin remove --shared --verbose neomobile.oxt |
Edited by pluby: added missing ".oxt" extension in second command

This does not work for me:
ERROR: There is no such extension deployed: neomobile
PS:
running 'find . -name '*neomobile*' -print' in the Contents folder yields:
./share/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/hCITsO_/neomobile.oxt
./share/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/hCITsO_/neomobile.oxt/neomobile.uno.db
./share/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/hCITsO_/neomobile.oxt/neomobile.uno.dylib
Edit by pluby: delete quote of my previous post to avoid confusion as the Terminal commands in my original post contained errors that have since been corrected |

It looks like I failed to copy the entire second command into my post and my post is missing the ".oxt" extension that is needed.
I have corrected my post. Do the commands in my corrected post work?

Yes, it works: | Quote: | COMPUTER:MacOS USERNAME$ cd /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/MacOS
COMPUTER:MacOS USERNAME$ sudo ./unopkg.bin remove --shared --verbose neomobile.oxt
Password:
Deaktiviere: NeoOffice Mobile
Deaktiviere: uiJobs.xcu
Deaktiviere: uiIntegration.xcu
Deaktiviere: neomobile.uno.dylib
Deaktiviere: neomobile.uno.db
Deaktiviere: NeoOfficeMobile
unopkg done. |

Yes, just fine.
Is there any other package I can remove ?
(I use a 1.33 GHz PPC Macbook with 768 MB of RAM, and anything that can speed up startup and memory usage would be great). |

You can try removing all of the shared extensions by quitting NeoOffice and then moving the /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/share/uno_packages. If that does not change startup time (and it probably won't), you can move that folder back into it original location to restore all of the shared extensions.

Thanks for the info
and yes you are right, startup time is not significantly faster (though I have the impression this is a little bit faster)
I suppose however that removing these extensions may reduce RAM usage?

I doubt it. Most extensions do not get loaded until first used. The same is true for NeoOffice code: Calc, Impress, etc. are not loaded into memory until first used.
