Priority: medium
Bug ID: 81227
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: UI: Improve header/footer label to show it is for
first/left/right page
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: unspecified
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
When editing a page header, a label is shown just below the header area with
the text "Header (Default Style)" - where the text in brackets is the name of
the current page style.
It would be really helpful if this label showed whether we were editing the
header for the first page only, or for left or right pages only. This depends
on the page style header settings "same content on first page" and "same
content left/right".
For comparison, Microsoft Word shows labels such as:
- "First Page Header -Section 1-" (within a section named "Section 1")
- "Odd Page Header -Section 1-"
- "Even Page Header -Section 1-"
(Word omits the section name if the document contains only one section)
My proposal for LibreOffice would be to add a prefix to the existing label
where applicable, i.e.:
- "First Page Header (Default Style)"
- "Left Page Header (Default Style)"
- "Right Page Header (Default Style)"
- or just the existing label "Header (Default Style)" if none of the above
apply
Perhaps others would have a different opinion on the precise wording - feedback
on this needed. Some alternatives:
- "Header (Default Style, Left Page)"
- "Left Header (Default Style)"
The same change should be done for footers.
(I can propose a patch to implement this change, if agreed it is a good idea)
