After fixing critical NeoOffice bugs reported by our users in previous patches, we have continued work on additional features for our users.

By the end of July 2009, we will release NeoOffice 3.0 Patch 6 and NeoOffice 2.2.5 Patch 14 with the following new feature: users will be able to change the default document type that opens when you launch NeoOffice.

Special thanks go to all who have donated to the NeoOffice.org project since we released NeoOffice 3.0. Without everyone's donations, not only would we have been unable to implement this new feature, we would not have been able to provide rapid investigation and fixing of all of the critical bugs found by users.

Steps for using this new feature

With NeoOffice 3.0 Patch 6 and NeoOffice 2.2.5 Patch 14, users can set a single default launch option using a Terminal command.

For example, to start in Calc by default, use the following command:

defaults write org.neooffice.NeoOffice DefaultLaunchOptions -calc

You can replace "-calc" with the following options:

-draw

will open a new Draw document


-impress

will open a new Impress document


-math

will open a new Formula document


-nodefault

will not open any document


For users who want to specify more than one launch option, you can specify a list of options using the following terminal command. For example, to launch NeoOffice and have it open "file1.odt" and "file2.ods" from your Desktop, use the following command:

defaults write org.neooffice.NeoOffice DefaultLaunchOptions -array \ 
~/Desktop/file1.odt ~/Desktop/file2.ods
