[upstream] OpenOffice should only display icon sets that are available on disk

[Vytas]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

OpenOffice 3.0, Jaunty up to date

from menu Tools -> Options-> View
Here you can select style, like Human, Industrial. But styles Tango, High-contrast are available also, even if the corresponding packages aren't installed, thats a bit confusing

Low priority of course

I can observe the same behaviour here. It seems the names in the menu are loaded from some hard-wired configuration file instead of reading the directory containing the actual icon-set archives. Can someone with access to the upstream bug tracker make a report there?

won't help. upstream distributes all things in one package. you want to write a
patch (see ooo-build/patches/src/{human,tango}-icons-add.diff

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

I will forward this bug to upstream and see if they will do something about it. It would be fairly complicated to patch this downstream as far as I can tell due to the way it is implemented, the fact that it is localized, etc.

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

I am however working on getting the fallback part of the problem working so if you pick a non-installed icon theme it should fall back.

This is Unassigned... please this is a small bug, help us fix it

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

manzur,

Stop messing with triaged bugs unless you intend to actually fix them yourselves. This is an upstream issue and has already been dealt with properly on the Ubuntu side.

[manzur (sl-solaris)]

it was reported a long time ago and no fix has being release, it is time to d something, I do not think it is very difficult to fix but normal users should have a simple guide to help fixing small bugs, errors or issues like these

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

Yes it is difficult to fix... look at the code yourself, don't just guess. It has been sent to upstream OOo to fix if or when they ever do as I already mentioned previously in the bug report it is fairly complicated to fix in just a patch that Ubuntu would have to keep updated forever.

[manzur (sl-solaris)]

so OOo people are the ones that have to fix this bug in their source code to make it work forever? is that what you mean?

[Chris Cheney (ccheney)]

Yes

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.
