------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Jan 14 15:30:03 +0000 2011 ------- Ok, let me explain it one more time. Graphical user-interfaces use easy elements to communicate with the user. One very easy element is a progress-bar. It begins at the left and when it's closed, the message to the user is: 'task successfully completed'. The opposite of this is an application showing an hourglass and shows no reaction on any user action, like a mouse-click. The message is: 'Oops, there is something wrong, this application is stalling'. Saving a file is one of the most important tasks a program has to do. It must be controlled and monitored carefully, completely and free of any irritation. At the moment OpenOffice controls only a part of the process 'saving a file', a second step is uncontrolled (OOo stalls and shows an hourglass). The progress-bar must be open as long as OpenOffice is saving the file. Because closing the progress-bar is a clear signal to the user, that his task is fulfilled successfully. Giving this signal before the process is completed, is nothing else but a bug. There is the Danger of Data loss and this is without any doubt a P2 issue. If you are unable (it seems to me more unwilling) to fix this bug, maybe you can create a new kind of pop-up-art. You can show the following message before saving: “Please do not unplug the powercabel. This application is not hanging, it's saving that way”. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
