We certainly need more people with attention to detail. Hopefully the move to the OOo Writer format will mean that we can get rid of disasterous limitations like non-inline [1] frames not being exported at all (because currently, the filters don't know where they're located so can't sensibly put them anywhere). KOffice unfreezes in about a week or two so I guess real filter porting work will start in a couple of months. Cheers, Clarence [1] I used to call them "floating" but after looking in the source code, apparently "floating" == "inline" ! ____________________________________ koffice mailing list koffice@mail.kde.org To unsubscribe please visit: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice
