Nope, never saw any such thing, but I'm not sure I'd classify myself as 'a close follower of the releases list'. I've been on it for a few months I think, but again, don't recall any conversation whatsoever about this issue. In fact, there has been plenty of discussion online about how bad this change is. Quite frankly, if 63 votes for this issue in less than *four days* doesn't convince you that this needs to be fixed *immediately*, then you are living in a strange world full of boxes and squares. > I don't think that arguing about the type of release for a change will > help us. I'm still of the opinion that 3.2.1 is/was something different > than 3.2.2 or 3.3 or 3.4 will be. No idea what that is supposed to mean. Regardless of how you or anyone else may have *thought* this change would be received, it was a *minor* point release that introduced a *major* *negative* (as evidenced by the votes accumulated) change to the user experience. Common sense dictates that this should be remedied ASAP. The solution is simple - keep the new icons, just add the original colors to the different file types. > Your (and your company owner's) opinion will be listened to as well as > other voices that had suggestions about the icons.

I don't have time to go engage in an endless argument with some one or more people with blinders on about such a simple thing. > But the issue wouldn't qualify as a showstopper for future releases as > it didn't in the past. It is an *absolute showstopper* for my company, and I'm hoping this isn't shades of things to come from the buyout of Sun by Oracle. Maybe Oracle wants to kill OOo? If so, this is the way to do it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
