"binfilter" is the project name of this stuff in OOo, so that's the |
| 8 |
reason it was chosen. It might not be perfect, but it is easy enough to |
| 9 |
find out what it does (and most shouldn't care about it anyway) but |
| 10 |
"staroffice" would be a lot worse in my opinion, as this is just for |
| 11 |
some ancient StarOffice formats, while the more current ones are |
| 12 |
supported by default (so it would suggest something wrong) |
| 13 |
|

Actually I thought about that issue in advance, but decided that |
| 15 |
something like "binfilter" is better than something complicated like |
| 16 |
"staroffice-legacy". |
