<pre>Description:
I've made separate macOS standalone launcher .app shims that launch Writer,
Impress, Draw, Math, etc., just like LibreOffice works in Linux.
They are nothing more than an Automator script that executes
`/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --writer "$@" >/dev/null
2>&1 &`
Because it supports args you can even drag files onto whichever of these .app
bundles you have on the dock, and it'll open the file in the relevant
LibreOffice program.
As one of the most oft requested features for Mac is 'can I please have a way
to separately install Writer or a way to launch the separate aspects of
LibreOffice', this should do nicely.
If wanted, now the fat binary could even be 'hidden' somewhere in the
Application Support folder, and just the shims could be placed in
/Applications.
One thing: whilst the shims can be placed anywhere, LibreOffice has to be
installed in its default location, since that is what the shell line inside the
.app shim expects.
Cheers and I hope this will be useful :)
