One last question for today (I hope): if I understand it correctly, the role of Collabora / LibreOffice Online is to serve as WOPI server as well as to render (in browser) the GUI of Writer/Spreadsheets/Impress and allow for collaboration. I would give up on most of these - what I'd settle for would be to let users use their local installation of LibreOffice to directly edit files stored in Odoo (not to force them to download and reupload the file). I know WebDav could be used for this - so looking here for inspiration: https://github.com/OCA/server-backend/pull/61

But I am wondering if it would not be enough to create minimal set of WOPI server endpoints to allow editing from desktop installation of LibreOffice? Or that is not WOPI client?

 

Best regards
