Re: Openoffice 1.0.4 on x86_64 - testers wanted

Hi!

I just installed the current OpenOffice on an arch64 computer and found a little bug.
After install I have every menu item there except the most important one for me. The writer menu item wasn't installed. I know I can manually set it up, but I thought since the other items are all there. Does anyone else noticed the same thing? So maybe this can be fixed if it's a problem with the package?

Thanks!

Hi!

Thanks for the reply. I have all the files the you have, but still, everything is shown, except the writer. Anything I can do especially since this happened on a brand new installation of arch64? Any Idea about what went wrong? The writer.desktop file is also in ~/.local/share/applications/ but no menu entry is shown....

Thanks!

EDIT:
Strange, after searching the writer.desktop and a reboot, the Item suddenly appeared.... I don't know how, but this worked on 2 different computers. Anyway, thanks for helping me out....
