SOE (Arrow Styles) file submission mechanism
Hello...
I've created numerous line ends (aka "Arrow Styles") that I'd like to contribute. However, there's no method on the website for submitting this file type (SOE).
I could submit as a template that downloaders could then save as a text file with the right filename extension, I suppose. Seems unfortunately inelegant, though.
A Forum moderator asked about submitting as an extension. But "arrow styles" aren't a programmatic feature, nor even a GUI enhancement like a gallery addition. They're just a text file (XML, as you prob. know). And the file doesn't go in one of the standard user directories anyway.
Any ideas for a solution (or remote possibility of expanding submission functionality)?

Correct. And you would get credit as any other developer, in the source
code and in the Release Notes. See
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=123758
for a very similar example.

Templates and Extensions do not cover the whole available range of
OpenOffice customizations. I honestly don't know if it is possible to
package palettes (.soc) or arrow shapes (.soe) files as extensions, but
I've never seen extensions doing that.
Regards,
Andrea.

What would be the next step after a "patch" submission. Wouldn't that get it simply incorporated into the program?
I'd like to see it downloadable by users, a la Templates. I'd also like, admittedly, credit for it, as it's a domain-specific thing for me. (In comparison, the Templates section is plastered with a bunch of posts of DVD label templates for Lulu.com, seemingly obviously an advertising ploy by them.)

You can create an issue in Bugzilla, attach the files there,
and then
mark the issue type as a 'PATCH". That will allow the
developers to
review it.
Thanks!
