Bug ID: 163548
Summary: Exporting file to PDF with the same name and Yes/No
buttons are displayed in dialog instead of
Replace/Cancel buttons
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.2.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
- Create Writer document and export file to PDF.
- Do some changes and export again with the same name.
- In dialog now "Yes/No" buttons are displayed.
- If "Yes" is clicked old document on disk is REPLACED with new version. This
is bad UX issue.
- Suggestion rename buttons to "Replace/Cancel" combination.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Writer and in new document type some text e.g. test1
2. File | Export As | Export as PDF
3. On opened dialog click on Export button to export document.
4. On opened dialog leave default file name and click on Save button to save
PDF document.
5. Now change some text e.g. test2
6. Repeat steps 2 to 4.
Actual Results:
7. Now dialog appears with "Confirm Save As" in title bar and "Untitled 2.pdf"
already exists. Do you want to replace it?" There are two buttons "Yes" and
"No".
8. I just read "Confirm Save As" and clicked "Yes", I assumed there will be new
"save as" dialog opened, but instead file was replaced and I lost older version
of document.
Expected Results:
a) Title bar should be named "Confirm Replace".
b) "Yes" button should be renamed to "Replace".
c) "No" button should be renamed to "Cancel".
In my humble opinion when something so dangerous as losing older version of
document is in making, Yes/No question should never be used. This is bad UX.
