New configuration entry DataFilesChangedCheckValue for linguistic i43873 feature-info:
There is a new configuration entry for the linguistic named "ServiceManager/DataFilesChangedCheckValue" of type integer (32 bit). It used to save a kind of hash value for all installed writing-aids data files. The directories used to look at are the path set for the linguistic (usually share/dict where all SO data files go) and its sub-directory "ooo" (where all OOo data files are located). This 'hash' value is builded from all the files in those directory by using their names, size and modification time. The value calculated this way will be stored in DataFilesChangedCheckValue in order to have a quick check available if data files were added, deleted or modified. And now only if one of those happened the configuration gets updated. The effect of this is that now only once after an Office installation the configuration will be updated (which will still take about 8 seconds due to having about 4-6 times more languages per default available than in SO 7) and never ever after if the above listed directory contents are not changed. Of course if the user installs new files or updates/remove existing ones the configuration will be updated again next time when the Office is started (and the linguistic is used). Effectively the delay on application start-up when using the linguistic will now be less than a second. Regards, Thomas

Thumbnail icons are changed. i45081 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. Mikhail.Voitenko at sun.com speclink framework
