I Knew It … !





I knew there was a reason I liked NeoOffice!

One thing it does, that OpenOffice doesn’t is a little OS X convention that most OS X software does, is put an icon on top of an open file window; as you can see from the first two screen-shots.

There’s a reason for that; when you ctrl-click – or right-click, if you’ve got a two button mouse – you get a convenient drop-down menu that shows you the folders that the files in.   Bloody convenient, when you need to find, or open, one in a hurry.

I know that OpenOffice.org has to make the software as generic as possible, in order for it to work on as many platform’s as possible, but it’s a frustrating thing I could do without.
