Feature Request: Choose Office Add-in Version

asked on October 23, 2015

Hi all,

One of my colleges has recently installed the LF Client and Office add-ins at a site with more than 200 users. He found that the add-ins were loading painfully slowly and on further inspection realised that plug-ins are installed for all versions of Office (2003, 2007, 2010, 2013) and then are all loaded when an office application is started up. Office then chooses the correct plug-in.

To speed up the load time my college has had to go onto each machine and disable all the add-ins that are not appropriate to that machine.

Would it be possible to select which versions of the add-ins get installed, or even better for the installer to automatically detect the correct version of Office? From what we've seen this could speed up the loading of Office applications and be a much easier way for us to install them!

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated!

Cheers, Dan.

Hi Daniel,

 

The version 10.1 has supported the features. Just let you know the update.

I don't know if this is an option for you, but the state of the add-ins for each of the Office applications is saved in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\PROGRAMNAME\Addins\PROGRAMNAMEYEARSaveToLaserfiche.Save. The value of the LoadBehavior parameter controls whether they're loaded (3) or not (2). So you could have them disabled as part of the user's login script.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins\Excel2003SaveToLaserfiche.Save]
"LoadBehavior"=dword:00000002
"Description"="Allows users to save the current electronic document to a Laserfiche repository."
"FriendlyName"="Laserfiche Excel(2003) Add-in"
