------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Dec 5 08:59:32 -0800 2005 ------- Current problem: 1. Users cannot select paper which is not as standard as listed in the page dialog but they often uses. This forces them to input its width and height each time. 2. Some countries has their own standardization organizations and defines paper and envelope sizes. JIS(Japan Standard Association) has many paper and envelope standards. But there is no way to add such paper sizes to the list of a page dialog for each language. 3.Especially concerning B? standards, JIS conflicts with ISO. Most Japanese don't know this fact. So the list which shows "B? (ISO)" and "B? (JIS)" cause confusion to Japanese users. Other software and printer drivers don't show both of them, only JIS standards. Proposal: First, obsolete the current SvxPaper enumeration and related constant values. This is the root of above probelms. Revise SvxPaperInfo and SvxPaper to add paper size dynamically. Then, obsolete hard-coded size definition, create a configuration file (*.xcu) which defines paper sizes and make OOo read it. Finally, provide UI to manipulate this configuration. Prospect: 1. Each user will be able to add paper size which he/she often use and remove one which he/she never use from the list. 2. According to language settings, OOo will be able to provide suitable paper size list in default configuraiton. Ja version don't have to show "B? (ISO)" and others don't "B? (JIS)" any more. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
