Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2003 11:05 am Post subject: Switching between OOo versions with Start OpenOffice.org
Not sure if this is more appropriate here or in the Testing forum, but I noticed a small bug in Start OpenOffice.org:
I have both 1.0.3 (from the nice graphical installer) and 1.1 (from the console-based 031006 .tgz installer). They coexist fine and I have had no problems so far, both running under the XF86 installed by 1.0.3 and OroborOSX. The issue is that if I want to switch between preferred versions in the Preferences of Start OOo, it isn't sufficient to just quit out of the running version and then change the preference: after making the change in the pulldown menu, I have to completely quit Start OOo and then re-launch it. Is this really the intended behavior? If not, perhaps an "Apply" button could be added to the Start OOo Preferences window?
Terry, this is definitely not a show-stopper at all, just something to glance at if/when you have time.

Yes, I believe I am aware of some problems there - I think I recommend in the documentation to completely quit "Start OpenOffice.org" after changing the OOo version preferences. I am planning to make changes to the next version of "Start OpenOffice.org" to make it easier to switch between OOo versions, etc.
