Priority: medium
Bug ID: 80774
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Other: enhancement: replace "edit file" with "toggle
read-only"
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.5.2 release
Component: UI
Product: LibreOffice
In the file open dialog, there is a check mark for "open read-only".
When a file is open read-only, the window title says "read-only".
But for some extremely obscure (to me) reason, the method for toggling between
having a file open as read-only, and open with read-write, is called "edit
file". If the file is already open for writing, the plain meaning of that
would be a no-op.
It would make much more sense to label this operation as "toggle read-only" or
some other phrase that contains the words "read-only."
In addition, it would be useful if this operation appeared under the "File"
menu.
Finally, the help documentation is extremely opaque on the subject of
read-only: "Use the Edit File icon to activate or deactivate the edit mode."
Upon first reading this, I had no clue what "activate or deactivate the edit
mode" might mean. Again, this should use the phrase "read-only." Also, it
would be helpful if the help indicated where I might find this "Edit File
icon."
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.2.5.2 release
