Description Michael Meeks 2005-08-19 10:29:47 UTC

Certainly shouldn't be giving the impression this is the default word processor
- that's going to be a compatibility nightmare.
Arguably shouldn't be installed by default :-)

Also - can't find 'gedit' in the menus - which is annoying.

Comment 1 Rodrigo Moya 2005-08-19 10:38:47 UTC

gedit should be in Accessories/Text Editor, isn't it there for you?

Comment 2 Michael Meeks 2005-08-19 11:10:12 UTC

Uh ? - I have no top-level 'Accessories' menu:

Panel->Applications:
    Applications
          *this menu is stuffed with junk*
    Games
    Graphics
    Internet
    Multimedia
    Office
    System
    Utilities
    SuSE Help Center

we are talking SUSE 10.0 Beta2 installed from CDs right ? my nice NLD box works
fine of course with the layout you describe but ...

Comment 3 JP Rosevear 2005-08-19 13:52:27 UTC

Rodrigo, you are using the ximian menu hacks, not the default menu system.

Comment 4 Mark Gordon 2005-08-19 15:17:39 UTC

In the stock SL10.0 menus, Applications -> Office -> Word Processor -> Word
Processor is abiword, so this remains a valid bug.  abiword is in the Gnome
selection, so it's installed by default with the Gnome desktop.

Possible solutions:
- Change the string in abiword.desktop (and get the string translated)
- Drop abiword from the Gnome selection

Comment 5 Mark Gordon 2005-08-19 15:32:53 UTC

Michael: gedit is under Applications -> Utilities -> Editor -> Text Editor, the
same menu as emacs.

Comment 6 Michael Meeks 2005-08-19 15:39:54 UTC

ah - yes :-) thanks. Clearly dropping AbiWord'd be the most sensible & simple
approach.

Comment 7 JP Rosevear 2005-08-23 13:01:35 UTC

Agreed, please remove abiword from from the default gnome selection (but it
should remain on the media).

Comment 8 Stefan Dirsch 2005-08-23 14:30:10 UTC

fixed for Beta4.

Comment 9 Stanislav Brabec 2005-09-05 13:34:55 UTC

If we removed a GNOME Word Processor in GNOME2 selection, we
probably don't want GNOME Spreadsheet (gnumeric) in GNOME2 selection, too.

What is your opinion?

Comment 10 Michael Meeks 2005-09-05 16:25:45 UTC

Well - Abiword was listed as 'Word Processor' not 'GNOME word processor'.
Since gnumeric has some edge for certain tasks, and at least can export data in
.xls format - perhaps it's ok to leave it there at least until we have the
startup /memory improvements for OO.o in SL10.1 :-) No strong feelings
personally - over to JP... ;-)

Comment 11 JP Rosevear 2005-09-07 13:15:34 UTC

No strong feeling here, especially this late for 10.0.  Leave as it is.
