------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Apr 29 22:01:17 +0000 2008 ------- There is still a problem. Confusing - at home, ubuntu client OOo2.3 and now 2.4 will open files by clicking on a samba-browsed icon on a Debian Linux (Etch) server. This is the target behaviour exhibited by nearly every application I use - and most notably Adobe Acrobat. So far so good. At school, neither OOo version works like that - on Windows 2003 server or Linux (old Mandrake or Debian Etch). And that is irrespective of whether the client is Ubuntu (Feisty - not yet risked upgrading to Heron) or XPpro (not yet risked Vista) One word of caution - the number of combinations of client, server, OOo version and opening method has not been systematically tested at school (limited opportunity) and at one stage (under battle conditions!) I thought it was working. Sadly the effect was not reproducible. But Adobe always works. The only known generic difference between the home network and the school network is loading. The intention is for the two to be as similar to one another as possible so that my own development work can be piloted at home then safely ported in. Hence my puzzlement. I may have an unwitting config difference (but I think not) or we may have a timing problem .... Meanwhile, for staff and pupils, OOo has this user hostile feature that encourages users to keep their data on the desktop or in my documents, relying on their roaming profiles to sort everything. With 1000 users randomly choosing one of 250 wireless laptops, every laptop would end up with potentially everything on it - and out of disk space! And wireless logging on of 60 users in two adjacent classrooms with massive user profiles would be impossible. So in spite of my belief that our teaching should as far as possible be vendor neutral, I cannot recommend OOo for widespread use. I merely make it available to pupils whose family circumstances indicate they need it at home. This really is a significant useability issue for workplace adoption. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
