Re: ODF and macros
by Sergio T. on Thursday 07/Jun/2007, @00:36

Maybe we can distinguish between "document level" operating macros and "system level" operating macros. The first one cannot manipulate files and directories, nor connecting arbitrarily to any outer source (DBs, net resources, other files, websites..), while the second does. In the first case you can release the macro embedded in the document and, as far as i see it, the language can be standardized (for example in a spreadsheet it should perform only operations in cells, creating new sheets and so on..).
As a matter of security, i think that (simply) a document, even with embedded macros, can be forced to start with disabled macros.

What do you think about it?
