Description grig 2015-09-29 18:03:33 UTC
Please, replace in app-office/libreoffice ebuild line --disable-systray on --enable-systray.
Without quickstarter LibreOffice opens files very slowly.

The ebuild for libreoffice has a comment:

    # --disable-systray: quickstarter does not actually work at all so do not
    #   promote it

Have you tested compiling with systray? Have you compared opening files with/without the systray? I've tested with 5.0.1.2 and it works just fine, maybe slow hard drive?

With quickstarter files are opened 10 times faster than without it.
Checked in Debian (Ubuntu), Manjaro, and even Windows :)
On any hard drive, the hard drive is not affected.

Hm... it opens documents like in 2 seconds on my computer without any quickstart. Besides, if you have enough RAM, the files used by libreoffice are cached in RAM anyway.

If this is just about faster start time, you should achieve the same using sys-apps/preload

2 seconds?!
With quickstarter LibreOffice opens files instantly.

https://help.libreoffice.org/4.4/Common/Memory
"Enable systray Quickstarter.
Mark this check box if you want LibreOffice to enable quickstart. This option is available if the Quickstart module has been installed."

Why this option is unavailable in Gentoo?
Comment 7 Tomáš Mózes 2015-10-16 07:02:04 UTC
I just tested again. The first time it takes like 5 seconds, the other times it's instant (because it's in the RAM).

What times do you have? First open vs second, third...?

I don't know why we don't have quickstart, it's a question for the @office team.
