Disadvantages of apache openoffice12/15/2023 ![]() With LO’s KDE integration you have those bookmarks in LO’s file dialog, otherwise not of course.Īnd it’s probably also a question of what you’re used to. ![]() you can create bookmarks in KDE’s file dialog to make your life easier and quickly navigate to your documents. Of course it is a big deal for users that want to have the KDE file dialogs, and it can be a big deal for productivity as well. It is not a big deal when it comes to productivity. I think that prevention of KDE integration (I’m not exactly sure what you mean by saying that, so I’m just guessing )Īctually the GUI wouldn’t even look so strange as there is an oxygen theme (the default KDE theme) for GNOME as well. That would be another reason why the OpenOffice repo should be enabled by default, or even better, giving users the option to choose between LibreOffice and OpenOffice during the install process… If that should lead to any problems, then I think using OpenOffice instead of LibreOffice would be the best work-around for peopple who have to use iBus. Actually I couldn’t notice any important issues followed by LibreOffice forcing libreoffice-gnome. I think that prevention of KDE integration (I’m not exactly sure what you mean by saying that, so I’m just guessing ) it is not a big deal when it comes to productivity. Personally I don’t really have any idea about ibus though. The optimal solution would be to make the KDE integration work better with ibus so there’s no need to require GNOME for that. Users will complain that LibreOffice doesn’t use KDE dialogs. Not all people use ibus you know, but it might be pulled in by other packages. (on 13.1 it forces GNOME integration unconditionally even if libreoffice-gnome is not even installed, but that’s a different story…) On 13.2 ibus will force LibreOffice to use GNOME integration when libreoffice-gnome is installed even on KDE. ![]() The problem is that this will prevent KDE integration. It might have any disadvantages (which I didn’t find so far), but it has some advantages compared to LibreOffice. I know about the license issues, but it’s just not true to simply say that it would have disadvantages compared to LibreOffice. I think it would be a very good idea to tell the developers to make libreoffice-gnome being installed automatically once iBus is selected for installation (I will point them to this thread, for the case that they didn’t do that for 13.2 yet).īesides that I keep wondering why they keep people from installing Apache OpenOffice. The only working solution which I finally found was on some bug report board not related to OpenSuSe. Was a paragraph on the release notes of 13.1. Well, it is known that kde and LO and ibus have problems. Just install libreoffice-gnome and all problems are solved. ![]()
