Tab browsing for OpenOffice.org

If you can load all the documents ( text, presentation, spreadsheet) in a single OpenOffice.org window, and use tabs to navigate between them, would it be good for you?

I will spend a week to "hack" on this problem and try to see whether I can make a prototype for it.

I think it is not a easy stuff, so your suggestion is very appreciated.

Debugging OO

1. build debug=true dbglevel=2 for max output and dbglevel=1 or 0 for less output.
2.

gdb ./soffice.bin
(gdb) handle SIGPWR nostop noprint
(gdb) handle SIGXCPU nostop noprint
(gdb) handle SIG33 nostop noprint
(gdb) run -norestore -writer

3. (gdb) print dbg_dump(sWhatEver)

4. rebuild the module
gdb ./soffice.bin
 ...
 bt
#0  0x40b4e0a1 in kill () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1  0x409acfe6 in raise () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
#2  0x447bcdbd in SfxMedium::DownLoad(Link const&) () from ./libsfx641li.so
#3  0x447be151 in SfxMedium::SfxMedium(String const&, unsigned short, unsigned char, SfxFilter const*, SfxItemSet*) ()
from ./libsfx641li.so
#4  0x448339d3 in getCppuType(com::sun::star::uno::Reference const*) () from ./libsfx641li.so
...
 quit
 cd base/OOO_STABLE_1/sfx2
 ootouch SfxMedium
 build debug=true

5. or

dmake killobj
dmake

6.Non-Product Builds are created using a special configure switch, namely --enable-dbgutil.

For available tools in non-product builds, have a look at the various DBG_foo macros in tools/debug.hxx

To actually fire up the debug settings dialog, press -D.

To use (or do QA for) the additional debug features: just run OO.o, and
when it's in full-flow, press --
'D' in that order
