[libreoffice-users] Alternative Find & Replace for Writer not working with latest LO versions

Hi,

This is a quick note to let people know that the 'Alternative Find & 
Replace for Writer' throws intermittent errors when working with latest 
LO versions.

Here is the bug report...
http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=116928

For me it only occurs when using the 'batch' mode, but this is the thing 
I use the most.

Is anyone in LO working on this extension? If not it might be worth 
noting on the wiki that some errors may occur.

I presume, as LO matures and Java changes that most of these add-ons 
will throw more and more errors unless maintained. Maybe we should have 
a pole asking users what they think should be maintained or 
functionality/code assimilated into the core.

Personally, I am replacing the 'batch' option of the 'Alternative Find & 
Replace for Writer' by creating a macro to call the normal 
search-replace dialog in LO (which also uses regular expressions).
