Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 13216
Quickstarter grays out menu items incorrectly
Last modified: 2003-05-15 11:10:30 UTC
When choosing the Open Document option from Quickstarter and opening a WAV file, the file plays, but the From Template..., Open Document..., and Exit Quickstarter options are grayed out the next time I open the Quickstarter menu. I know that the OpenOffice.org application is not intended to be able to open WAV files, but if one is opened by accident, the bug would prevent the user from having access to the menu items mentioned above. Also, the same issue may also happen with other file types, although I have not tested for this. WAV files are associated with Windows Media Player 9.00.00.2980 on my computer. I use Windows XP Professional. Opening a file afterwards works fine from within the main interface (I was using Writer). The menu items which are not grayed out work properly. This issue occured in both versions 1.0.2 and 1.1Beta.
confirming - jerickson86, thanks for reporting this changing prio to P4 - P3 means "must be fixed before release", and I think this isn't the case here. targeting for Beta2 at the moment, though I doubt that it will make it
hro@as: As discussed you should inplement the common (optional) notification mechanism.
.
I've checked in the workaround for this problem. Now my sound handler implementation supports the guaranteed notifications. But please note: This function currently by luck. Loading of not visible contents will be handled more strictly next time at the API method loadComponentFromURL(). Then such contents (e.g. sounds) won't be loadable by this method any longer. Then you have to use the dispatch framework instead of the component loader. That means further, that the file open dialog won't offer such file types for loading any longer.
Please check it for an actual master ... THX.
Checked and verified in actual master -> fixed ! Closed !
Fixed, verified and closed !
