Remember the parable of the college student who had one horrible room-mate after another, she couldn't get along with any of them.

(a) You have no idea how long anyone here has been using OOo. I've been using StarOffice for years before there was an OpenOffice. In 2007 your first post stated you'd been using OOo for 4 - 5 years. That means you started in late 2001 at the earliest; I assure you there are *many* people here who have been using SO/OOo for much longer [like a decade!] than you. It is interesting that your post then was about exactly the issue you are complaining about now. (b) Claiming to be a champion is always in poor taste. A simple Google search of your e-mail address provides no evidence of such. And nearly every single one of your messages is unequivocally negative. Your frequent use of profanity doesn't help the case. > There are serious issues with OOo 3 and that's a > fact and NOT ONE OF THE AH's REPLYING HERE CAN GIVE ME AN ANSWER AS TO > WHY IT SAVES SLOW ONTO A FILE SERVER and OPENS SLOW FROM A FILE SERVER. (a) Why would I even try? Your coming across as an angry jerk. Pay me and I might consider putting up with that. For free? No way. <constructive and technical> (b) what diagnostics have you tried? Did you analyze the traffic to see what was going on? Listing the files open on a fileserver is very trivial admin stuff, and a good place to start. You've provided nothing concrete enough to make even the wildest guess. If it is a Samba server just do an "smbstatus" and it will list open files. Also wireshark, or even etherape, will provide a nice picture of what is going on on the wire. I'd suspect this is much more likely to be a network configuration issue than an application issue. Different applications can respond quite differently to subtle network configuration issues - the fact that you perceive MSO as faster doesn't help [it might just be shuttling some task into a background thread and generating even more network I/O than OOo for all we know - unless you check]. </constructive and technical> (c) Obviously not everyone is having your problem which means the issue is probably local to your configuration. See (b) that anyone would need real information in order to help you. > MSO on the other hand is fast, same size and type of files, same file > server and same workstations! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
