--- Comment #10 from Jean-Pierre Ledure <jp at ledure.be> ---
Hi all,

I could not reproduce the crash described by Robert but could reproduce the
behaviour described by Alex.

The cause of the latter incident is that the file downloaded from the
extensions web site is called
    basedocumenter.oxt
while it should be 
    BaseDocumenter.oxt

I had never uploaded a file with a name in lower case, but the extensions site
has been revamped/redesigned in the mean time.

The wrong name has as unexpected side-effect that the installation creates
somewhere a subdirectory
    .../uno_packages/lu...tmp/basedocumenter.oxt
i.o. .../BaseDocumenter.oxt. This prevents the software to find a Python piece
of code and causes the error.

Most extensions do not care about the name of that directory and, additionally,
the error probably does not happen in Windows that ignores lower/upper case in
file names. Anyway I discovered the file name change only today ...

May I suggest to Robert to re-test after having:
- uninstalled the extension
- downloaded the extension
- renamed the received file with correctly cased characters
- reinstalled the extension
?

Thanks to all for the tests done.
