OOSearch Commentarydoes NOT open anything :-L - Version: 0.2.1, 12/17/2005 05:35AM PST

S.Pellegrino
I downloaded this in order to open .odt files I have and which I cannot read cuz OO1.x wont run on MacOSX 10.4 , OO2.x is not available yet and and NeoOffice is HELL slow (even on a 2GHz G5). So I treid to use this piece of Soft in order to get the content of these files, copy paste them into some 'normal' application and get rid of OO at last. In the description it says: "It opens all OpenOffice.org files ... files can be opened via OOSearch directly.", this is simply NOT true. It does NOT open anyting :-L

Yes, please, do make this an mdimport plugin rather than a dedicated app. Looks like you've done a good job, but this really is unfortunate that its not simply part of Spotlight through just a simple plugin.
