Bug ID: 160615
Summary: Adding a warning message about the type of settings in
Calc.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
The settings in Calc (Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Calc) can be set for new
files and for the current file separately. For example, some users got confused
with the setting "Search criteria = and <> must apply to whole cells". If you
open the LibreOffice Calc and remove the check mark from this setting, then in
the new files ".ods" format this setting will be disabled. At the same time,
you can enable this setting separately in any file and save it (then this
setting will be enabled for the saved file and for new files created later).
However, in order for the setting to be disabled again for new files after
that, it must be disabled in LO Calc (not in file) again (in this case, this
setting will be disabled in all new files, but enabled in previously saved
ones).
Maybe it will be clearer to add some message in the settings that shows what
the change in settings will affect:
1) If you open the file in Calc and go to the settings (Tools -> Options ->
LibreOffice Calc), then there is logical message - "The settings will be
applied to the current file and those created later."
2) If you open LibreOffice Calc and go to the same settings, then then there is
logical message - "The settings will be applied to new files".
Actual Results:
1) Open LibreOffice Calc.
2) Go to Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Calc -> Calculate.
3) Make sure that there is no message about the type of settings.
Expected Results:
First type:
1) Open LibreOffice Calc.
2) Go to Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Calc -> Calculate.
3) Make sure that there is a message about the type of settings to save (for
example, "The settings will be applied to the current file and those created
later").
Second type:
1) Open the file .ods via LibreOffice Calc.
2) Go to Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Calc -> Calculate.
3) Make sure that there is a message about the type of saving settings (for
example, "The settings will be applied to new files").
Reproducible: Always
