Bug #: 46221
Summary: Simplify file open dialog
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.5.0 Release
Platform: x86 (IA32)
OS/Version: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: UI
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The number of file types that Libre can open is impressive but this leads to a
problem with the File Open dialog. Apart from the rather odd looking "All files"
list, which fills the entire height of the display, the sheer number of options
is a little overwhelming.
Would it be possible to have two drop downs, one for a category and then the
other which lists the file types associated with that file type. It kind of
already does that but the categories appear at the top of the list, i.e. "All
files", "Text Documents", "Spreadsheets", followed by all the distinct file
types. So the enhancement might look something like:
"All Documents" -- "All Files"
"Text Documents" -- "All Files"
"Open Office Document (.odf)"
"Word 2007 Document (.doc)"
"Plain text document (.txt)"
"..."
"Template Documents" -- "All Files"
"Open Office Template (.odt)"
"Word Template"
"Excel Template"
"..."
"Spreadsheets" -- "All Files"
"..."
and so on.
