Description Manuel Reimer 2011-04-06 00:49:29 UTC
It should be possible to disable the whole extension installation feature (Extension manager, File->Open of oxt file, Doubleclick in file manager).

Firefox has a preference for this, which is not accessible from GUI (only about:config). Would be nice to have something like this for LibreOffice, too, so I may disable extension installation most of the time, only enable it for a short time to, for example, install a new dictionary and then disable it, again.

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

Dear bug submitter!

Due to the fact, that there are a lot of NEEDINFO bugs with no answer within the last six months, we close all of these bugs.

To keep this message short, more infos are available @ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/NeedinfoClosure#Statement

Thanks for understanding and hopefully updating your bug, so that everything is prepared for developers to fix your problem.

Yours!

Thanks for reporting!

I think this is a pretty good enhancement request :-). I see this is initially reported in 2011 ... we do feel sorry about that. But we're trying to reduce our outstanding 'unconfirmed' list as best as possible.

Kind regards,
Joren
