The present version doesn't seem quite ready for that. Even when I try to open a file from command line, i.e. abiword filename or abiword /path/to/filename or abiword "/path/to/filename" the program Aborts or opens a blank page.

Ernesto, thanks for this information.
I hope that we're going to see some updates in near future.

I didn't try invocations from command line. But opening .doc files from Abiword's file chooser did work fine for me... I was able to move around the document, edit some changes and so forth. So at least these elementary tests worked fine for me. I disabled on-the-fly spell checking to bring down the cpu usage, though.

Since this build for Fremantle is not yet optified, I got rid of it and am relying instead on Easy Debian's Abiword. On Diablo and my N800, I never had any luck with Abiword, it would invariably hang running at 100% cpu.

A temporary solution to get some root space back without having to uninstall abiword is to move the biggest things to opt and create symlinks.

I did this by first creating the folders /opt/abiword/usr/share and /opt/abiword/usr/lib.

I then moved /usr/share/abiword-2.8 to /opt/abiword/usr/share and /usr/lib/libabiword-2.8.so to /opt/abiword/usr/lib and finaly created the necessary symlinks:

Code:
  ln -s /opt/abiword/usr/lib/libabiword-2.8.so /usr/lib/libabiword-2.8.so
  ln -s /opt/abiword/usr/share/abiword-2.8 /usr/share/abiword-2.8

Not optified and I crashed it fiddling with paragraph properties (trying to get the first line to format differently since I have no tab key).

It's huge.

I'll try to fiddle with it some more see how it feels but frankly it's just large. So, you know, optify please, that stuff? Nice though.

Does it open ODT (OpenOffice) documents ?

Thanks. Worth optifying, then :-)

optify it and I will vote for it immediately. It seems to work quite well but is just way to large to keep in rootfs at the moment.

Tried doing this but couldn't find the /usr/lib/abiword-2.8.so file. There is an abiword-2.8 directory there, but no so file.

any ideas?
