I've been debating creating launchers for each so you can have one icon for each, just like on a local install. Is there interest in this?
You are here
Anyone want launchers for each? (writer, calc, etc)
You bet
That would be great.
Yes, please.

What about a PStart-like launcher? You run it, and it asks you which app you want to run. (Unless it already does that already.)
You could add command-line switches for use in PStart, for those who don't want multiple launchers.
i.e.: PortableOpenOffice.exe -calc
Cheers!

Everybody using PStart could start single OO-apps. You only need to specify the commandline parameters (e.g. -calc in general properties) and maybe change the icon (-> advance properties).

This is sort of what I'm talking about.
Does it already accept those commandline parameters? That was my idea, but I didn't know if it does it.

I built the launcher to pass them right through. Detailed here:

Yes, please.
I'd be dead keen if it meant that it resulted in the option to have only parts of OO, without the overhead - eg I don't have any use for the Powerpoint and Databasing type functions, but am addicted to the word processor - I'd love to save some portable disk space and just be able to have the word processor, and nothing else....
I would love to only have the writer on my usb and nothing else.
Actually does AbiWord handle .odt? Hmm...
It needs a plugin from the abiword folks. check the homepage
OO.o is really one big program. Installing just one vs all yields nearly no space savings.
Yes, please.
This is a "nice to have" so it would be nice to have. So yes please.
