Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: SubForms and Photographs in LO Base

Hi :)
Good points. I hadn't thought of that but then i often rename installer files to 
help me keep track of which is the most recently downloaded and hopefully make 
the name a bit more meaningful to me.  Perhaps some sort of pop-up or splash 
screen or something during install?
Regards from
Tom :)

Well, yes, but "early adopters" doesn't imply "unfinished developer
version". It merely implies "people who want the latest one first
without subsequent bug fixes." The word "final" implies "production
ready". I didn't install 3.4 because the warnings made me look at the
release notes, which led me to believe there are known bugs that would
cause serious problems for my office, but what if I hadn't gotten it
from the website? What if someone had given it to me on a CD merely
labeled "3.4 Final"?

There needs to be some clearer information on the site, and if the
even-numbered release are "development" branches, then there should be
a warning for users when they install those versions, as well.
