Bug ID: 160950
Summary: Warn before performing a destructive/lossy edit of OLE
object
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Some OLE objects are editable in LO in a way with is rather destructive.
Example: PDF documents. When one:
1. Adds a PDF document as an OLE object.
2. Right-clicks, and chooses Edit on the context menu
It would be useful it LO would warn the user that editing the PDF may result in
degradation of the document regardless of concrete changes the user makes.
No additional warnings need be give on repeated edits
Bikeshedding I: How do we decide which formats are "safe" to edit with no
warnings?
Bikeshedding II: Should the warning be given once per object? Once per (LO
session, object)? And there are other options even.
Note: If such a warning is made, then the significance of bug 160949 decreases
somewhat.
