openoffice: how to tell which version of the zotero plugin is installed

Hi,

I'm not sure whether I have the latest version of the zotero plugin installed in openoffice, and would like to verify that somehow. Anyone have a clue?

(rather than just installing the latest version which I _might_ have already installed again...)

Further, it would be nice if the extension could be updated like a normal firefox extension by hitting the "update" button in openoffice, rather than manually plowing through the process.

Even further, I would appreciate if a version history (including dates / times, as appropriate) would be published on http://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_installation - see mozilla firefox as a particularly praiseworthy example...

thanks!

    to find out if you have the latest version: Tools -> Extension Manager -> Check the version number there against the one of the most recent update.

    In theory one should also be able to update the extension there - but I don't think the Zt. plugin is posted to the relevant repositories, or is it?

    Apparently implementing auto-updating is not that straightforward:

    The 2.0a2 OO plugin already points to zotero.org to check for updates. We just haven't put an update manifest on the server yet.

    hi adamsmith,

    I can't see the installed version (of the zotero plugin) in openoffice, can you?

    v. 2.0a2 (for the Zotero 2 beta) shows the version. I do not believe the extension for 1.0 shows it.
