It would be nice if I could only install Writer and Spreadsheets and nothing else. I only need that yet installer installs bunch of crap like Impress, Math and Draw that I'll never need and there is no way to opt that out during install. Can you guys fix that up?
@rejzor Well, calling components of the suite that the community works hard on "a bunch of crap" really isn't a good starting point for a discussion. If you want a genuine answer and not just to insult people: there is a huge amount of code shared between the components, so adding the ability to remove them wouldn't make a big difference. Of course, if you really want this, you could help the community to implement it...
Yeah, well they are useless crap for me because I don't need them but your installer feels the need to install them anyway and shove them in 50 context menus all over the OS. But it seems you're more concerned with feelings of a software somehow than understanding the issue at hand. Btw, at no point I criticized people behind it, so cut that bs.
@rejzor If you think that using words like "crap" and "BS" is a good way to talk to volunteers, who work hard to give you free things, then we can't really go anywhere here. It's just not nice behaviour when we're working hard to give you a free office suite – imperfect as it is. Take care.
Can you like, for a second stop throwing volunteers under the bus in attempt to frame me like I'm attacking them? At no point I ever mentioned people working on it yet you keep bringing it up. Just improve the installer so I can exclude components I don't need, so it doesn't pollute my entire OS interface with unnecessary components. Apparently that's too much to ask...
@rejzor "Just improve the installer" might be a bigger job than you think, and we have very limited resources. Can you help us to implement the change and do all the testing required? If so, please submit an enhancement request on bugs.documentfoundation.org and we can begin to work on it together.
If so many components are shared, installer should just not expose them to user then if they are unchecked during install so they aren't dumped in all the context menus, new files menu, open with menu. I honestly don't care if all of it is still present in Program Files, I just don't want to see it all over menus. That's all. Installer used to offer individual components selection years ago iirc, but not anymore.
This is awesome, thanks for sharing. With the decline of Windows in general, and the death of Windows 10, my mom recently got a mac mini so I installed LibreOffice for her and she's been using that for the majority of her stuff, like managing her budget and such. I'll send these her way in case she wants to take a look at them.
