Star Office Trick Discovery



I just bumped across some interesting tips for Star Office.  By default SO opens
a desktop window, you open and app or double click on a file.  I find this
behaviour rather annoying and not very "integrated" with my wonderful GNOME
desktop.  But what if I could drop an icon on a StarWriter or StarCalc Icon and
have THAT app open with my file loaded,  or click on the StarWriter and have it
open with a blank document ready to receive my latest musings about pressing
theological/political/philosophical issues....  It turns out that I can!!!

soffice private:factory/swriter  /home/adam/doc/ldap_vpn.sdw

Opens Star Writer with the document ldap_vpn.sdw!!!

Or if I JUST want Star Writer I do a:

soffice private:factory/swriter

Everything I could find:
------------------------
soffice private:factory/swriter = StarWriter-text
soffice private:factory/scalc = StarCalc-spreadsheet
soffice private:factory/simpress = StarImpress-presentation
soffice private:factory/sdraw = StarDraw-drawing
soffice private:factory/swriter/GlobalDocument = StarWriter-master-document 
soffice private:factory/swriter/web = StarWriter/Web-HTML-file
soffice private:factory/frameset = StarWriter/Web-Frameset
soffice private:factory/smath = StarMath-equation
soffice private:factory/schart = StarChart-chart
soffice private:factory/simage = StarImage-bitmap
soffice private:factory/application/sbase = StarBase-database
