Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Mac people

Hi :)
The useful advice i have is 
1)  use the work-arounds so that you never have to worry about it
2)  It is being worked on so stop worrying
3) become a dev yourself and help fix it
The warning is there to prevent people from stumbling into a known-issue.  

Problems are not always able to be instantly fixed.  In some cases there may be 
no point in fixing something trivial if fixing it causes major problems.  In 
other cases the problem might have a simple work-around but would require vast 
expenditure of limited resources to fix.  That does not mean the problem doesn't 
exist.  IT DOES exist BUT its RARE.  


Should we hide the existance of the problem and pretend it doesn't exist?  
Perhaps we could blame the user as certain other products do?  Or should we give 
fair warning that there might be issues if simple work-arounds are not 
followed?  


Again you are not reading to understand.  You are again reading to impose your 
idea without regard to, nor consideration of, realities.  Most people read to 
widen their understanding.  Try it.  It's more interesting that way.

Regards from
Tom :)

Tom, I will ignore the hostile tone in your reply and the unsupported
assertions ("rare", etc.) and simply note that the link you gave applies to
installing different versions of LibreOffice on the same computer, not to
having both OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice installed.

Do you have any useful advice on how to remove the warning from the LibO
3.3.3 Release Notes (uninstall OpenOffice.org before installing
LibreOffice)? 

If there is no real problem, then the warning should not be there. If there
is a problem, then it needs to be addressed ASAP in my opinion.
