Unfortunately the 'small-ness' of that binary is bloated to (was it 3 or 6 Mb I forget) by all the embedded icons needed for associating that with the umpteen file-types we support [ or something ]. <div class="im"> > > Oooh ! and if you can build / debug on windows :-) perhaps you could > > help fix the dumb-ness that we duplicate many megabytes of icons between > > soffice.bin and soffice.exe (?) it requires only a small set of hacks I > > think. > > Do you have more information? </div> Those same icons are then all present in soffice.bin as well in order to get window icons correct. Instead of that we should just be loading the window icons from our images.zip [ where they also live ], and setting them on the window at run-time I think. That is what we do for the gtk+ backend, cf. GtkSalFrame::SetIcon and just needs replicating for Windows - so we can drop that duplication. gtk+ has a means of doing this for windows, so there is the API support there somewhere. </blockquote><div> Now that I have my DDEInitiate-bug-workaround tested (and it works) I have some more time to do this. I think I should first find a solution to the DDEInitiate bug in LibreOffice, then I could start to work on the icon isssue. It sounds doable, as I can look in to what the Gtk version does. I have updated the bug-report at <a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/process_bug.cgi">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/process_bug.cgi</a> Should the icon-issue be registered in the bugtracking system? </div></div> -- Knut Olav Bøhmer
