history manager error?

For what its worth History manager still threw up the error after a removal of extension / open office & a re-install (open office 3.3)

By dropping back to Open Office.org v3.2 this extension now works fine.

Re-installing 3.3 on top of 3.2 resulted in the crash that is show in my post from Wed, 08/24/2011 - 19:36.

So it looks like its somethig in open office v3.3

No dialogs

Your image shows that your History Master does not contain the dialog modules HistDlg and HistTypeDlg.

Uninstall History Master from menu Tools > Extension Handler. Close OpenOffice, including Quick Starter.

Download History Master from this site. Install it from menu Tools > Extension Handler.

Strange text at the end of license

Hello,

I noticed that the end of LGPL text license is quite funny. Is it done at purpose ?

Funny end of the license text

I am not expert in international laws. It is a faithful copy of the original...
This part appears after the lines :

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries

They are not part of the contract. And they don't do any harm to the extension.

Funny end of the license text

In version 1.1.1 the useless part of the license text is now deleted.

a couple of problems

very nice extension. not sure where bugreports and feature requests are accepted, listing here for now :

1. if i open 'recent documents of same type', "current list" dropdown contents have yellow background, and this yellow background also covers the arrow if the dropdown itself (linux, kde);
2. in this dialog, count at the upper right corner of the list is editable textfield, but it doesn't seem to be actually editable;
3. this dialog can't be resized;

thanks for the extension

A couple of problems

Thanks for your remarks.

1 - I use a standard ListBox, with no special tricks. The background color is one of the properties of a ListBox, choosing a color other than white is licit.
What you see is a bug of your OS or of your version of OpenOffice. If you have Ubuntu OS, try to deactivate Compiz. If your OpenOffice was provided by your Linux distribution, try instead the original OpenOffice version for Linux.

2 - This count is read-only. It is the number of documents displayed in the list, useful if you have more elements than can be displayed in the window.

3 - OpenOffice dialogs cannot be resized. E.g. see any dialog in File > Assistants.

History Master

Superb extension. If, like me, you wish to keep Text documents in one folder, spreadsheets in another and so forth, this is invaluable for quickly and easily opening documents.

Excellent

Cette extension mériterait d'être intégrée directement dans OOo (et son paramétrage se ferait via alors via le menu "Options").
Actuellement il faut aller dans "Outils"->"Add-Ons".
Merci pour cette nouvelle fonctionnalité.

Outils -Options / Outils - Add-ons

Avec le menu Outils - Options il faudrait au moins deux clic de plus dans le panneau : arbre History Master, puis développer la feuille de cette branche. En plus, la taille de la partie droite du panneau Options est figée, insuffisante pour afficher convenablement. L'accès est bien plus évident par le menu Add-ons, et bien plus facile à coder.
