Hello Under Windows 7, when I launch Writer by opening a document in the file Explorer, the Writer icon in the taskbar can not be pinned. Steps to reproduce: . Ensure Writer is not open. . Launch the Windows File Explorer. . In the Explorer, Open a Writer document (.odt). . Once Writer is launched, right-click on its icon in the Windows taskbar. . Note the menu has not the usual option "Pin this program to the taskbar". As a developer, I suspect this is due to the fact the process that really displays the document is "soffice.bin", not a classic ".exe" file name (although it is an executable). Suggestion to the developers: 1. Remove the unusual executable launch chain: swriter.exe, soffice.exe, soffice.bin . 2. Transform soffice.bin to a dynamic library: soffice.dll (in Windows, or equivalent on others OS). 3. Link soffice.dll to switer.exe, scalc.exe, sdraw.exe, etc. This way, swriter.exe is the real process that displays the document. And only one process is launched (more clear, less resources, faster to run). That will prevent all bugs that are linked to the current executable launch chain. For example the bug #76131, I presume. Thank you P.S. Please note Writer can be pinned to the taskbar when launched as an application, and not launched by a document.
Works correctly, able to pin to taskbar and record into Windows jump lists. Windows 7 Windows 8.1 Windows 10 We already support handling on Windows Jumplist and Taskbar, the monolithic soffice.bin and soffice.exe launcher (or per module wrappers) have been functional as independent launchers for each module since 4.1.1 release. http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/vcl/win/window/salframe.cxx#1829 http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/vcl/win/app/salinst.cxx#984 =-ref-= https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd378459(v=vs.85).aspx
Tested 5.2.1.2 on Windows 7 and was able to pin writer to the taskbar after opening a document on the desktop.
