------- Additional comments from [email protected] Sun Feb 21 18:13:12 +0000 2010 ------- There is a number of fields regarding the document info, which are updated automatically based on actions performed with the document. Field "Modified" is updated if the document is saved. Field "Last printed" is updated if the document is printed. If the document is exported into PDF format, which is sent to someone via email as an electronic version, there is no field available (so far I know), which would be updated, so that it would be clear when it was done (the "Last printed" field is not updated,which is ok, although in certain sense this way of document handling replaces a print and sending to the other party). Then it is difficult to identify the versions. I suggest, that a new field is created "PDF export" similar as "Last printed", however being updated at the moment, when any type of the PDF export is performed. Another question is how to safely identify a version of a document. This is an issue with the field "Modified". This field is updated when a file is saved. However, if a document is modified without being saved, than the printed version of such modified document is different from the saved one and it is not indicated in the field "Modified", similarly for the PDF export. This way it is not guaranteed that two documents with the same contents of the field "Modified" are really identical. OpenOffice recognizes if a document is changed since last save, but this state cannot be recognized by any field. It is assumed, that after all, the document is saved before close, but in between it is possible to generate a number of documents different from the saved version. It would be ideal, if it were possible to generate a unique stamp of a document, which would be related to the document contents, and which would be able to confirm if there are two identical documents, eventually generated in different methods, such as print and PDF export & print. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
