@ all: This issue is only valid for OOo 2.4.3. I don't think that that we will have UI changes for this minor update. This is a bug accordning to the spec. See section 3 of http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/onlineupdate/ODF_Online_Update_Trigger.odt @MD: Please decide if we want this fix for 2.4.3. PB was the developer of the feature. There are no plans for any UI and string changes for future 2.x.y releases. Thus I don't think we will fix this issue. Regarding the issue itself, it's the second time I read about the confusion about the ODF Notify / Warning message and the issue that it sounds like it has a relation to the Online Update. I don't see this connection. The ODF Notify should warn users about loosing informations. Of course the solution is to get a newer version which fully supports the corresponding file format, but thats the only connection to Online Update. When people install the Office without Online Update module, they still should get the ODF Notify as it is implemented. Regarding the idea to make the ODF Notify optional, for example by adding a checkbox to not remind users again, thats a good idea. Frank, you should consider this for a future 3.x release for the time when we change the format again sometime in future. @md: My intention is to disable the online update feature in a centrally managed environment where the user must not install any software. Therefore it is necessary, not to offer the user a way to install a new version of OpenOffice; even (or better: especially) if the online update feature is not installed on a system. The ODF Notification may be shown to inform the user about possibly "strage effects". The left button in the ODF Notification (see attachment, german release) should be removed if the system administrator wants to disable online updates. @all: I think it could be usefull to put this feature (slightly modified) to all OOo versions (2.4.3, 3.x and all future releases): OpenOffice should show the ODF notification (without online update option) everytime the ODF-version of the file is higher that the version supported by the current OpenOffice version; just to be safe for the future. Imagine, in future there might be an other application producing ODF 1.3 (or higher) when OOo does not support ODF version 1.3 or higher yet. Created attachment 59265 [details]
