I was not aware that the Status Bar communicated save-status. I suspect the majority of LO users are also not aware of this. It is easy to see why users have adopted a "mis-use" of the Save Icon, assuming it is a mis-use. Users have an icon they click to save a document. It is a fairly well sized icon. Whey they go to click the icon and it is grayed out, no save is possible. No save possible = nothing is in need of saving. Hence the icon becomes a "communicator" as well as a "saver." Whether a correct judgment or not, it is a common induction people are making. But you say it is not reliable to rely on the save icon to show modification status? That the status bar is a more accurate indicator of this? > Subject: Re: [libreoffice-design] "Document Saved" indicator > From: kohei.yosh...@gmail.com > To: design@global.libreoffice.org > Date: Thu, 31 May 2012 22:57:33 -0400 > > On Thu, 2012-05-31 at 22:54 -0400, Jay Lozier wrote: > > The grayed out Save button in LO also indicates that the document in > > unchanged since the last change.
