Description:
LO Writer Reminders:
This is a marvelous feature but appears to be an "alpha" version for anyone
other than short-session programmers. The fact that reminders are neither
highlighted nor listed in the navigator is a drawback. That severely limits
their attention-getting usefulness for writers of books. Those possibilities
should be switch-on- or switch-offable so that they are visible and can be
"alarmable" over time. Most research documents aren't done in a day.
The limit of five reminders is too severe. That should be expanded to three
times that amount, if not unlimited. Large documents in long composition
sessions may need more for reference purposes.
Last but not least, saving reminders with the document on exit can be crucial.
Some documents need months to complete. Reminders should not be time or
session limited. It would be more than useful for them to bring themselves to
attention when waiting for future research and subsequent documentation to be
added or referenced.
If the suggestion is to find another method for reminders rather than
“reminders,” then the feature can become somewhat of a waste of both author’s
and programmer’s time to set when they provide such limited service.
Reminders is a great feature, properly implemented. I would like to see this
greatly improved. Not only I but I'm sure hundreds of others would be deeply
appreciative. Any consideration to this would be greatly appreciated
Keep up your great work. Appreciatively (since StarOffice Suite days)
Actual Results:
Reminders performs as described in the documentation. This is a feature
enhancement request.
Expected Results:
Greater usefulness of the feature for more complicated documents than the
current feature provides.
Reproducible: Always
