Windows Full Install (English x86)

Initial Conditions

  1. The first build tested from Apache OpenOffice is identified as OpenOffice.org 3.4.0 OOO340m1 (Build:9584). Is is the 2011-12-15 Developer Snapshot uploaded by Raphael Bircher. The file is identified OOo_3.4.0_Win_x86_install_en_US.exe.
  1. The installation begins with the installer downloaded to a file location from which it can be executed.

Initial Configuration

There are many variations of initial configuration that matter. The first one is not the simplest but accounts for possible interactions with existing installations.

The initial scenario is using a configuration of Windows Vista that already has three other ODF-supporting applications installed:

Observations

  • The previous version of OpenOffice.org is OO.o 3.3.0-it, installed as an experiment around differences in UI and writing aids. It was already noticed that the 3.3.0 install stole the file associations that had been previously associated with the Libre Office installation.
  • The shadowed-button works well as a desktop icon/shortcut. I don't link the tint that much, but it is a recognizable, simple icon that could be useful to preserve. Taking it through a tansition that blends in some sort of Apacheness over time would be interesting along with the march to top-level project.

Issues/Migration

  • The name associated with the desktop icon/short-cut of course.
  • The tooltip acknowledges Oracle support. The other text is fine.
  • This is worth describing with regard to our own build status. I record it here as part of capturing observations when they occur (for now). – dh:2011-12-18T22:19Z

Download Presence

Observations

  • The button icon with download arrow works very well at the small (detail) size.
  • I added a date to the beginning of the downloaded file name to help me differentiate different builds. I got the date of the build wrong, but it work as a differentiator for the download and these screenshots anyhow.
  • the larger button icon is great too, used in the lower left of the Windows Explorer window. It is obscured because more than one file is selected.
  • the "modified" date is the local time and date when it was downloaded in this case.

Issues/Migration

  • No labels
