Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: --convert-to issue

Hi :)
Not sure about most of that but point 2

ls  is the same as
ls .   and
ls ./

it's just a bit of cleverness to try to get around weird limitations.
There shouldn't be any difference but what should be and what is are
sometimes different.

> From the summary, i agree that it would be nice to have a neat little
gui program to point&click on but the point being made here was that
its an incredibly trivial thing to do and multiple easy ways of doing
it without going to much effort at all.

Despite it being really trivial in LO/AOO and probably other office
suites and programs it's an option apparently not offered by MS Office
and therefore considered "rocket science".

It might be nice to point it out in consultation exercises.

Tom :)
