------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Nov 6 18:17:30 -0800 2006 ------- OpenOffice writer has a problem which hinders the smooth workflow of user. When any image is used from Internet, like copying and pasting the webpages text & images into OOwriter, it takes images into its page, but as the page increases, the image is refresh to visible page section from internet frequently. ALso, Openoffice writer hangs for the moment till images are loaded completely into visible section. This came up as a big problem to me, as i was to preview different pages frequently while making the document. When we take note of some situations, this problem creates a very irritating experience. Situations are: *The user got a slow internet (56kbps) though i was bored at my 265 kbps *when images are larger and high quality (i mean of larger size, something like 1MB, which may take 30 secs to download)... *When document contains many pages with many images from internet... This will cause document previewing a very bad experience. So, i came up with a solution, though its just a hint... (on Linux) When images are copied to document pages, it should be copied into a temp directory if the document is still not saved or, till the portion work is not saved. It can be in /tmp/some873-tkfdl-TempDIR where no. is some random which is not being used. when all images are copied to that place, it would be fast to load images (Since not all images can be in memory, to avoid swapping a lot on large document and hogging memory). Also, there would be another thread working to load images into 2-3 pages above and down... since that thread would just put the image into memory, that is to be displayed in the image placeholder, it would not cause much problem in rendering the page again. So, when pages are saved, where are those images.. i got frustrated to get that, the large document i worked on, was without any image that i copied to from internet. The computer i previewed the document had no internet. So, the presentation failed. WHY? cuz i used much talked about odt format. There would be another solution to it too. ODT fileformat are XMLs./.. so we can have a section there to put the data. Same like we do in emails with MIME data and offset of that particular data. When pages are saved, it contains all the media and other things as ascii formats in the data section of the ODT file, which may also be compressed by some fast algorithm. When pages are opened again in OOO, the data should be inflated into temp directory, and all access to those images should be refreshed from there. Let me ask, how frequent the image over internet is changed or updated? So, why to update images from the internet... just to cause more problems? And DO all computers have internet connectivity? so why not multimedia/image data is embedded into the ODT file? It may cause a big problem when someone is having a big presentation and finds the computer he uses has no internet.. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
