Please help with testing

Some years ago I developed an extension for LibreOffice for direct search for clip art from www.openclipart.org.

I have recently been working on a new version that use a new OpenClipart API.

Please help me test this extension:

Install it and use it. Post your result and comments to this blog post. I would like to know witch operating system and LibreOffice version you are using. I'm specially interested in Windows 7 as I have seen some problems running it on my own Windows computer.

Find the extension here: http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/openclipart-org-integration/releases/2014.12.01

When you install this extension please make sure to install it for "current user" only. Installing it for "all users" wont work. When you download the oxt-file please make sure that it doesn't change file name. The extension file name must be openclipart.oxt.

Changes in this version is...

  • Action icon added to the Drawing toolbar.
  • Fine polish the user interface.
  • Implemented support for sort order
  • Implemented optional 'add to gallery'
  • All code is now Python - removed the Basic macro
  • Added some more error handling
  • Changed the concept so files are downloaded temporary to disk before inserted. This was caused by some problems getting things working over http directly.

clker.com openoffice.org addon

This extension is an example of how an extension to OpenOffice.org can make internet services available directly in OpenOffice.org. Clker.com is a website with free clip art. The site is funded by advertising. The service operates in the way that you register on the site and adding various clip art to your cart (you can also download them).

Through this extension to OpenOffice.org, you can retrieve your clip art directly into the document, without having to open your Web browser and download the images.

It irritates me a little, that the extension doesn't remember my account info from time to time.
