wizards: Import wizard hardcoded "StarOffice" string
Last modified: 2013-01-29 21:41:54 UTC
On import wizard's first screen all strings that refers to the product have a %PRODUCTNAME placeholder, but one that is hardcoded in Basic code in 'wizards/source/importwizard/Language.xba' at line 84. IMHO it should be replaced by %PRODUCTNAME. Best regards, Santiago
@ is: Are you the owner of this issue? Is there a chance/need to get for 3.3? There is a few more StarOffice in this file.
is -> va: This task is for you. Is it required for 3.3 ?
@ih: Could you please check the effort for this task?
In this wizard the string "StarOffice" is used for the OLD document formats (e.g. *.sd*) and for them it is ok - they are NOT Oracle Open Office documents. So, I think it is correct to use StarOffice there - really NO need to change it.
Then this string should be changed, IMHO: importwi.src#sWelcometextLabel1.string.text "This wizard converts documents in %PRODUCTNAME format and Microsoft Office documents to the new OpenDocument format." Because it uses %PRODUCTNAME and gets replaced by "OpenOffice.org" what makes a nonsense. It should be something like: "This wizard converts documents from StarOffice/OpenOffice.org old binary formats and Microsoft Office documents to the new Open Document Format." And that "StarOffice" line for "StarOffice / OpenOffice.org old binary formats" OpenOffice.org should be included besides StarOffice because it used that format up to the version 1.5. Best regards, Santiago
Also, all the similar strings to: importwi.src#sSumSOTextDocuments.string.text "All %PRODUCTNAME text documents contained in the following directory will be imported:" should be re-phrased as: "All StarOffice / OpenOffice.org old binary text documents contained in the following directory will be imported:" Best regards, Santiago
@gw: what do you think about this string? Should we change it?
I think that the old binary formats (.sd*) are StarOffice only formats. Just like .doc is a Microsoft format. If you save a file in So "All StarOffice / OpenOffice.org old binary..." is simply wrong.
@of: Confirmed. It's the "StarOffice" format. @ih: In my point of view it's correct to leave the string as it is right now.
@md: I understand your point of view, and it is OK, the .sd* formats were defined by StarOffice, but they were also used by OpenOffice.org up to the version 1.5. From the perspective of some users, perhaps mistakenly, it was the OpenOffice.org 1.x format. Besides that the other strings are not ok in that they use the %PRODUCTNAME variable that gets replaced by "OpenOffice.org", or "Oracle Open Office", depending on the builder. Perhaps, when it was replaced by "StarOffice" (the commercial version from Sun) before Oracle's acquisition, these strings had sense. If you're going to maintain the "StarOffice" string, then the other strings should be changed, and %PRODUCTNAME replaced by "StarOffice" also. If you don't, the other strings don't have any sense, see: "This wizard converts documents in OpenOffice.org format and Microsoft Office documents to the new OpenDocument format." or "This wizard converts documents in Oracle Open Office format and Microsoft Office documents to the new OpenDocument format."
