CommandLine OOO Filters
by Fast_Rizwaan on Wednesday 12/Oct/2005, @05:49

yes, a command-line OOo filters would be the solution.

It could allow non-ms office utilities to directly convert a .doc to .odt or (od?) so that other applications could use it.

I wish oo developers should consider a "Document viewer" and/or "Document Converter" commandline, so that other applications like abiword, kword, etc., could use ms filters to get a readable .odt or .odp or .ods file.

Kind of makes you wonder.. is it World Domination (TM) they are after? If people have to load up the entire OO to convert documents, then why would they need "crummy little koffice"? ;-)

But speaking of this.. the a2ps (anything-to-postscript) is a killer app! If we eventually got a "a2od" product, this would make life a whole heck of a lot better for everyone (except M$ ;-). Being able to convert even dvi, pdf, wpd and the more exotic formats to OpenDocument too with a right-click maneuver on both GNU/Linux and win32 could speed up the transition quite a bit... or do you all think I'm barking up the wrong tree? :P
