Hallo

use mri for introspection!

as a startingpoint:

sub scripts_and_dialogs
    scriptlibs = createUnoService("com.sun.star.script.ApplicationScriptLibraryContainer")
    for each name in scriptlibs.ElementNames
        print name
    next
    dialogs = createUnoService("com.sun.star.script.ApplicationDialogLibraryContainer")
    mri(dialogs)
end sub

How does one install mri? I went to https://github.com/hanya/MRI/wiki and clicked on Installation and I got: https://github.com/hanya/MRI/wiki/Ins...

It says: "Install MRI extension package using Extension Manager from Tools - Extension Manager entry of main menu bar." So I opened LO and went to Tools | Extension Manager and searched for MRI and click on it. Then it says: "Install Instructions Fill in the install instructions" Hun? lol

@EasyTrieve: If the OS is Window$, just right-click the file and the rest will be self-explanatory. I think it'll work that way on Linux too, and pretty sure on OS X.

Thanks but I'm on Linux, and "the rest" is unfortunately not obvious to me.

please click on the link in my answer, and look out for the huge Button with the obvious Label Download Extension

@karolus & @rautamiekka, I appreciate your help. I downloaded this hours ago, before I asked my first question above. So I've got "MRI-1.3.3.oxt"; so what do I do with this file? I'm guessing but not sure if I download and save it. At the moment all of my downloads go to ~/Downloads. ..This brings up an additional question. Why is it that so much of the time with Linux I have to spend so much time trying to figure out how to simply install a download? It almost seems like this is deliberate.???

BTW, I just tried opening this downloaded file with Tools - Extension Manager, and it hung my LO.

Now if I discard the crashed LO, and restart, and look at the Extension Manager, it shows, "MRI - UNO Object Inspection Tool 1.3.3; [Orange/yellow warming triangular icon with "!"]; Error: The status of this extension is unknown; MRI - UNO Object Inspection Tool Enable | Remove"

I also found: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum... But when I click Help in Extension Manager it just gives me nonsense: https://help.libreoffice.org/sdatabas...

EasyTrieve ( 2016-12-05 05:39:47 +0100 )edit

Here are the extension installation instructions: https://www.libreoffice.org/assets/Up... I'll file a documentation bug report to try and get the Help button to point to this.

I tried the same file on my computer and LO5.2.2.2 just froze until I terminated it, so that addon is broken for 5.x.
