Priority: medium
Bug ID: 73463
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Provide "break links" command in customize GUI
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.0.1 rc
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
BACKGROUND INFO:
When we copy-and-paste an internet article into a odt file, we NEVER want to
link the images. However, the default behavior of Writer is to link the images,
and then the user has to break the links manually, using the Edit>Links...
command, and selecting the links and pressing the [Break Links] button.
This approach has four problems:
1. The task is very tedious.
2. If the user forgets to break the links, the images will not appear when the
user is offline.
3. When the user breaks the links, Writer goes back to internet and downloads
all images once again! Thus the same images are downloaded TWICE! (double the
cost of downloading)
4. With large images over slow networks, Writer takes a very long time to break
the links.
Because of these issues, it is best to embed the image rather than to link
them.
I have filed a bug long ago, but nothing has happened so far.
******
Coming to the present request:
If we cannot have embedded images by default, then at least let the user put
the "break links" command in an easily accessible place.
But the current design does not provide even this facility: The "break links"
command is not listed in keyboard or toolbar customization at all.
To reproduce the problem, follow these steps:
Part-1: Check the Keyboard shortcuts:
1. Right-click on any toolbar and select "Customize toolbar..." option.
2. In the window that pops up, select the "Keyboard" tab.
3. In the bottom part of the window, go to the Functions>Category list and
select "Edit" node.
4. Check the "Function" list. There is no "break links" function.
Part-2: Check the Toolbar button section:
5. Now switch to the "Toolbars" tab.
6. Select any toolbar (say, "Standard"). Press the [Add...] button.
7. In the window that pops up, select the "Edit" Category.
8. Check out the "Commands" list. There is no provision to break links.
Conclusion: We need a direct access to the "break links" command.
