------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed May 7 08:55:34 +0000 2008 ------- How to reproduce: 1 - have OOo 2.4.0 installed (does not appear on 2.3.1 and older) 2 - OpenOffice is not running 3 - double-click on a document created with 3.x (currently a pre-beta), for example an empty Calc document 4 - during loading a message appears : OpenOffice.org Update Available (see attachment) This message has several problems: a) it appears even if on-line update options are un-checked (which could be understood as : don't bother me with updates) b) there is a "smart" check that tries to display the message only once; when it works this means that the user will not be remembered when he/she reloads the same document later, defeating the very purpose of the message c) the "smart" check is easily foiled by reloading OpenOffice, or by closing the message window with the X button, and in other cases (copy) d) if the user of 2.x makes a change and saves the document, it is silently converted to 2.x format. A good way to get rid of the message. e) this is a "marketing push" because it appears even if there is no loss of information; it alerts the user needlessly and will be a source of trouble in a professional environment (where only the responsible for computer systems should decide when to update) For these reasons, this message should be suppressed on 2.4.1. Only in the case where a document contains features not recognised by the current version, could a warning message be issued. This message should only be a warning, not incite to update. It should then display at each document loading. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
