Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 10534
Writer doc linking Calc Spreadsheet
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:43:39 UTC
When opening a Writer doc with multiple links to different sections of a Calc spreadsheet file an instance of Calc is spawned for each reference, which is 10 for the current document, but will grow with time. Checked through configure options and searched help index, but found nothing so I must concluded this is a bug or an unconsidered behavior trait. Is this issue being addressed by anyone? Thank you, Bill
TM->BH: Looks more like a wish for an enhancement than a bug to me. Can you please have a look ? Thanks !
Changed issuetype and target.
Created attachment 5886 [details] a file pair (word sxw and calc sheet) which demostrate the problem
added example file pair to demostrate the problem I'm encountering. This has been present since 1.0.1 on win 98 and I'm now using 644M7 on WinXP with the same issue. I have verified that using absolute paths for links causes OO to behave in the manner I would expect, (one instance of calc regardless of how many times the spreadsheet is linked to from the writer doc), but as soon as I make the links relative the problem shows up.
This enhancement is considered for OO.o later.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
