Openoffice plugin - disable writing to terminal

chengiz5
How do I prevent the Zotero OO plugin from writing messages of the type:

ZoteroOpenOfficeIntegration: Executing setDocPrefs
ZoteroOpenOfficeIntegration: Iterating mainLoop
ZoteroOpenOfficeIntegration: Sending message "setDocPrefs"
ZoteroOpenOfficeIntegration: Received message ["Application_getActiveDocument",[]]
ZoteroOpenOfficeIntegration: Sending message null
ZoteroOpenOfficeIntegration: Iterating mainLoop

and so on. It's very annoying. Thank you.

    why do you start Ooo integration from terminal? And even if you do - you could just put an ampersand behind it to release the terminal? Or what am I missing?

    I start OO from the terminal. Look, I was only asking a question. You are not missing anything except the part where I said it's annoying. I am not trying to start a debate, although to counter your point I will say that OO does not write stuff to terminal, so I doubt a valid usecase can be provided for an OO plugin to do so. Thanks.

    To answer the question I needed to understand what's going on. And I don't have "a point" that you could counter - I was just asking questions, no reason to be testy.

    The answer to your question is: put an ampersand behind your soffice command to release the terminal.
    I can't tell you why Ooo integration writes to the terminal - I didn't write it - but a lot of software does - it seems to me more like a matter of taste - one use case would be that terminal output can be used for low-level debugging and functionality tests, including by endusers, because it's much less overwhelming than full debug output.

    Unfortunately putting an ampersand does not mean OO plugin stops writing messages to the terminal. I have to close the terminal.
