Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 86520
Start centre (Welcome to OpenOffice.org) on demand in OOo Aqua for Mac OS X
Last modified: 2009-03-31 07:34:55 UTC
Keyword: Aqua PhilippL in irc://irc.freenode.net/#ooo_macport asked to be notified of this ticket but I don't know his ID here. If Start centre (grey background, "Welcome to OpenOffice.org…" foreground) is closed, then there's no obvious way of recalling that welcome screen. (The options may be nested in menus, but the start centre is nice.) (Start centre appears when OOo is launched, but recall should not require a quit and re-launch.) If there's no way of recalling the window, then add to OpenOffice.org Help an explanation * with direction to the menu options. I see some references to AppleWorks behaviour, but I shouldn't treat AppleWorks as exemplary. Using buildid=300m0(Build:9275) from OOo_2.4.0_080225_MacOSXIntel_install.dmg courtesy of ericb
@ fl: Please have a look.
take over
If we want to have this, we should add - an entry for the StartCenter to the QuickStart menu - an option in tools->options->general to behave like other platforms when closing the last document (namely replace the document by the BackingWindow/StartCenter).
"resolved fixed" is the wrong state for this, reopening

see also issue 90815
The suggestion in (duplicate) Issue 91545 seems ideal to me; logically, a single click on the Dock icon, when no windows are open, should/could present the Start centre.

Cross reference Issue 94393 Apple-n key combination is surprisingly unrecognised. The start centre should be an ideal candidate for this key combination.
And what kind of document would Cmd-N open then ?
*** Issue 91799 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
For now, I'm treating as separate: * this issue 86520 (focus: OOo start centre on demand) * and issue 94393 (focus: command-n sometimes unrecognised, sometimes inconsistent). > And what kind of document would Cmd-N open then ? My response to pl appears under 94393.

Any news on this one? IMHO 3.1 feature freeze is already too close.
implementing as suggested: start modules comes up when - a new quickstart menu item (with shortcut Cmd-N) gets selected - or the application dock icon gets pressed and no other document frame is open
fixed in CWS vcl97
please verify in CWS vcl97
Verified with cws vcl97 = ok
Re issue 90815 and its recent attachment > Small Extension which disable the StartModule If a user installs that extension, then * will command-N simply do nothing or * might some error occur?
OOoDEVm39 tested, feels good. Thanks!
Issue 86520 has been fixed in master version OOo-dev 3.1 .0 (OOO310m7 Build:9393) for Mac OS 10.5.6 and can be closed. Just click on the OOo icon in dock and Start Center will appear again.
