Hi, Von: Martin Srebotnjak mi...@filmsi.net An: l...@libreoffice.org just thinking loud (hope it is not too loud): is it possible to* make help packs into extensions* (oxt files)? I tried this briefly for one of the LibO beta versions. In theory the mechanism is there but in reality I ended up with a mix of English and German help. Maybe this could be fixed, but the no-go for me was that the activation of the extension took about half an hour (on a Windows7 DualCore AMD PC). ... The drawbacks: - the extension framework maybe needs to be extended a bit to support help It does already, but currently it builds index files on installing / activating the extension what takes a lot of time. I have no idea if we could prebuild the index and put this into the extension.

Sounds (to me) like a really good idea :-) May not work well for Linux - where you want the help installed in the system, but that is different enough anyway. I tried this briefly for one of the LibO beta versions. In theory the mechanism is there but in reality I ended up with a mix of English and German help. Maybe this could be fixed, but the no-go for me was that the activation of the extension took about half an hour (on a Windows7 DualCore AMD PC). Lol :-) that does sound deadly silly. It does already, but currently it builds index files on installing / activating the extension what takes a lot of time. I have no idea if we could prebuild the index and put this into the extension. Oh - we can certainly special case / disable that for our extensions that already come with a pre-built help index. Better, we should speed up the indexing with clucene; but that is all quite do-able. It would help to have a stack trace of quite how the slowness gets called in that case though (if that is possible to get on Windows). Martin - is that something you might be interested in working on ? and/or if not - could you add it as an easy hack - which will need some research doing on it to make it easy [ samples of other code that packs extensions, thoughts on solving path problems on Mac vs. Windows etc. ].
