A Dead Parrot Learns to Fly
After an impromptu dead parrot sketch at the OOoCon ("the beamer works" - "no, it's dead" - "bah, it's not dead, it just needs a reboot"... (you might look forward to the still-missing video)), I had a rather rough ride with the proverbial last 10 percent of the browser functionality - I'm still not 100% happy with the representation in OOo's Calc, and the xcs schema parser leaves something to desire. But surely the thing is now ready for config hackers to play with it - grab your copy here:

(for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about: OoConfig is a Python extension, providing a tool quite similar in spirit to Mozilla's about:config page - a way of tweaking the complete (even hidden) set of configuration items. See also the wiki for further information)

Hi Thorsten,
It looks nice but crashes much too much. If I try to zoom in it crashes, if I select a sheet it crashes...
Any idea about that ?
Cheers,

@pagalmes: wild guess - you're running Windows, right? Have to look into this, something very weird is going on there...
...on Unix, it runs like a charm, FWICT.

yes, I am running Windows.

How do I start it after installation?
I didn't find a new menu entry somewhere...

@fritz: yeah, this is a bit clumsy (this time the OOo extension infrastructure) - the window you've run the extension manager from does _not_ show any update to the menu structure. Open a new window, and you'll find the config browser in the Tools->Add ons menu.
