Description Ville Skyttä 2012-07-08 21:09:45 UTC

Even though --view is documented in libreoffice --help, it doesn't actually work (libreoffice 3.5.4.2-4.fc17):

$ libreoffice --help | grep -- --view
--view <documents...>

$ libreoffice --view foo.doc
Unknown option --view
Run 'soffice --help' to see a full list of available command line options.

This also makes /usr/bin/ooviewdoc useless as it just invokes libreoffice --view:

$ ooviewdoc foo.doc
Unknown option --view
Run 'soffice --help' to see a full list of available command line options.

Comment 1 Caolan McNamara 2012-07-09 11:57:43 UTC

-view accepted while --view discarded, and script uses --view, bah.

fix will be in >= libreoffice-3.5.5.3-2.fc17

Comment 3 Ville Skyttä 2012-07-10 19:14:33 UTC

ooviewdoc is now fixed, but the issue remains in --help output in 3.5.5.3-2, it still says --view, not -view:

$ libreoffice --help | grep -A 1 -- -view
--view <documents...>
      open the specified documents in viewer-(readonly-)mode.

Comment 5 Caolan McNamara 2012-07-11 11:07:38 UTC

The help saying --view is ok by me, both -view and --view should now be accepted and --view should be the preferred I guess seeing as whoever changed all the -longoptions to --longoptions presumably wanted that to be the case

Comment 6 Ville Skyttä 2012-07-11 15:02:23 UTC

Oh, I didn't notice --view works now as well, just thought the script had been modified. No problem then.
