Calc-Edit Picture with External Tool

[Tomaž Vajngerl]

Hi,

I have added "Edit With External Tool" menu option also for Calc and
in the future I will add it for Draw and Impress too. To do this I
moved the common parts (class responsible for invoking of external
tool and watching of files in temp directory) from sw to svx. Updating
of graphics is quite different between Writer and Calc - I implemented
specific subclasses for each but I don't like this solution.

There is currently no cleanup of temporary files after work in
external editor is finished and I think monitoring for changes to
temporary files is never interrupted. Unless someone has a better
solution I will add a message box when external editor is invoked.
When the user finishes working in the external editor, he must click
"OK" in the message box to be able to continue working in Libreoffice.
With this it is clear when working in an external editor has finished
and the temporary files can be removed and file monitoring can stop.

Regards, Tomaž
