Load files into Writer only?

[Jens Tröger]

Hi,

As a follow-up to this thread, Piet (in a different thread: "Re: How
many degrees of headlessness do we need? [and LibreOffice crash]")
posted this snipped of code to open a Writer document only:

------------------------------------------------------------------------                                             
textdoc = ServiceManager.createInstance("com.sun.star.text.TextDocument")                                            
                                                                                                                     
loadURL = systemPathToFileUrl(realpath("test.odt"))                                                                  
inProps = (PropertyValue("URL", -1, loadURL, 0), PropertyValue("FilterName", -1, "writer8", 0))                      
textdoc.load(inProps)                                                                                                
                                                                                                                     
print(textdoc.Text.String)                                                                                           
                                                                                                                     
textdoc.close(True)                                                                                                  
------------------------------------------------------------------------                                             

While I couldn't use this due to a crash of createInstance(), it looks
to me as if this code would be an alternative to what we've discussed in
this thread.  I assume that loading, say, a Calc or an image would fail
here?

Cheers,
Jens
