Cougar Brenneman <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|NOTABUG |--- Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #2 from Cougar Brenneman <[email protected]> --- FEATURE REQUEST I DON'T WANT YOU TO COPY WORD. I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE FUNCTIONALITY, SO I'VE TOLD YOU HOW IT WORKS IN WORD. I COULD HAVE USED OTHER OUTLINERS AS EXAMPLES AS WELL. HOWEVER, DEVELOPERS DON'T UNDERSTAND A FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THIS PROCESS, APPARENTLY, SO I PROVIDED AN EXAMPLE. THIS FUNCTIONALITY CAN BE IMPLEMENTED IN ANY WAY THAT YOU WISH, BUT WITHOUT IT, LIBREOFFICE IS SUBSTANDARD. When I wrote this, I intended it as a feature request, not a bug. The reality is that I can never use your writer software until you have an outliner feature. I've used outliners as a full-time professional writer since the 1980s with PCOutline, and I moved to Word when they improved on it. I wrote this extensive feature request because I'm a professional writer, and until you have this functionality, I consider your product substandard, and I tell everyone else that I talk about it to that your product is substandard. I used PCOutline in the 80s as a full-time professional magazine journalist. I used Word's outliner in the 90s as a full-time professional senior technical writer for such organizations as Fujitsu Software. I've used it on contract jobs in the 2000s. As a retired full-time writer working on both fiction and nonfiction, I use an outliner daily, and I will not be able to use your substandard product until you provide a professional outliner. Just duplicate the functionality of PCOutline from the 80s, and I'll use your product. It will still be substandard, because PCOutline doesn't have drag and drop. I DON'T WANT YOU TO COPY WORD. I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE FUNCTIONALITY, SO I'VE TOLD YOU HOW IT WORKS IN WORD. DEVELOPERS DON'T UNDERSTAND WRITERS, WHICH IS WHY I WAS A PROFESSIONAL SENIOR TECHNICAL WRITER DURING THE 90S. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
