Bug ID: 169151
Summary: Add accessible name to sidebar
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.2.0.0 alpha0+ master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
[This was originally mentioned by somebody else in the context of an
accessibility course, but I agree it would be a good idea.]
The "Properties" sidebar deck provides a quick and easy way to allow seeing and
editing various properties of images (and other objects) in Writer. However,
seeing/setting an accessibility alternative text is currently not possible
there.
Making that possible would make it easier to create accessible documents (that
are e.g. required by legislation in many cases).
# Steps to reproduce:
1. start Writer
2. insert an image ("Insert" -> "Image")
3. With the image selected, open the sidebar, deck "Properties"
# Actual behavior:
There is currently no way to set/change an alternative text in that sidebar
deck.
Therefore, another approach needs to be taken, e.g. one of these:
* open context menu, select "Properties", go to the "Options" tab
* "Format" -> "Alt Text"
# Expected/Desired behavior:
I think it would be nice to provide an easier way, e.g. also to be able to
quickly get over existing images in a document to check/update those alt texts.
