Set target to 2.4. The message is necessary because unopkg accesses the same settings as the office. The message is the same when one starts two instances of the office from different machines (both use the same user settings!). Scenario 1: Installation successful. Extension Manager of OOo was not open. => Extension Manager dialog closes automatically. Scenario 2: Installation successful. Extension Manager of OOo was already open. => Extension Manager dialog remains open. Scenario 3: Installation failed. => Extension Manager dialog remains open. jl@bh: Can we agree on this behavior? Actually in scenario 1 the Extension Manager dialog need not be shown it would be sufficient to show the progress dialog. Only when something goes wrong then it could be displayed.However, that would require some more work. It is significantly better, if the Extension Manager dialog does not open at all in case an installation is not started from within the Office. Scenario 1: -The Extension Manager was not opened by the user; -the user starts the installation of an extension (system); -the Extension Manager does not open in this case; -the installation is successful or it fails, the status is readable in both cases in the Download and Install dialog; Scenario 2: -The Extension Manager was opened by the user; -the installation starts; -the installation is successful or it fails, the status is readable in both cases in the Download and Install dialog; -> The Extension Manager remains open, as the user opened it and might want to start a next action in this dialog. @bh There is NO "Download and Install" dialog for the system integration. Then simply the EM opens, asks the user if he/she wants to proceed, progress dialog, done. Also if you refer to the web based update, the "Download and Install" dialog shows only the results of the "automatic" updates. The browser should only be started after the user closes the "Download and Install" dialog. But actually this issue is not about this enhancement. There is no context of your last comment to this issue. Exactly that is described in the spec. Yes, that's right, one does not get the dialog 'download and install' in that case. Instead the progress bar appears and in case an error occurs, the appropriate error message comes up. I will make a change to the scenario 2 I described: -The Extension Manager was opened by the user; -the installation via browser or e.g. windows explorer starts; -the installation is successful or it fails, in case it fails, an error message appears; -> The Extension Manager gets closed. In case the user has started an action in the Extension Manager, that action gets done before the automatic close of the Extension Manager. Although this step is not elegant this helps to avoid forcing the user to close this dialog himself before the installation can continue. A first discussion showed that this problem is not trivial. An idea is to allow concurrent execution of unopkg. There is also the case when unopkg gui was started first and then OOo. Retargeting to 3.1. retargeting Retargeted to 3.x |
