Querydesign: Close preview has moved i33038 feature-info:
When executing a query, the preview window appears which displays the result of the query. The only possible way to close the preview again was a toolbox button "Close Window". This toolbox entry will be deleted. Therefore the "View" menu will contain an additional entry called "Preview". When the user toggles this menu entry, the same execution will happen as if the user presses the "Exceute Query" toolbar button. - Toolbar button "Close Window" + Menu entry "View" -> "Preview" Best regards, Ocke

OOo meta information displayed in Windows Explorer 97715 The Microsoft® Windows® Explorer Details view normally displays several standard columns that list information, such as the file size or file type for every file in the current folder. With OpenOffice.org 2.0 the Windows Explorer will be extended by a plug-in which makes several meta information of an OpenOffice.org file available for the column view. speclink
OOo thumbnails displayed in Windows Explorer i24335 The standard file system explorer on all three relevant desktops Gnome (Nautilus), KDE (Konqueror), and Windows (Explorer) support a thumbnail view mode in which a small preview of the respective file system object will be displayed if available. By providing a custom plugin for the particular file system explorer it is possible to display a thumbnail representation of an OpenOffice.org file. speclink
Enhanced selection for text and tables i20126 Writer currently supports only three different types of text selection: A single word (double-click), a complete line (triple-click) and multiple text selection (like single word/complete line but with CTRL kept pressed). While multi-selection and single word selection are sensible actions the 'complete line' action is very seldom used. speclink
OASIS file formats for XSLT filter i30705 OpenOffice.org (OOo) 1.1 and StarOffice (SO) 8 are using the new OASIS Open Office XML File Format as their default file format. The OASIS Open Office XML File Format has been development and standardized by the OASIS Open Office XML Format Technical Committee (TC). Support of the OASIS Open Office XML Format has also been announced by Koffice. New extensions are used to be able to divide the new from the old format and to prevent loading file with new format in an earlier released OOo 1.1. The new file names are the same regardless of the product vendor. So OOo and SO files are called the same. speclink
File format Names, Extensions and MIME types i32622 OpenOffice.org (OOo) 1.1 and StarOffice (SO) 8 are using the new OASIS Open Office XML File Format as their default file format. The OASIS Open Office XML File Format has been development and standardized by the OASIS Open Office XML Format Technical Committee (TC).
