Priority: medium
Bug ID: 81479
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Add options to flat XML format to meet needs of
development, testing, and bug reporting
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: All
Status: NEW
Version: unspecified
Component: Libreoffice
Product: LibreOffice
When members of the community are developing code, testing software, or
reporting a bug, it would be most useful to have a single data file format
specifically suited for all these purposes.
This format would have these requirements:
(1) the file must contain as much of the data stored in the
document/spreadsheet/presentation/database as possible (in order to
successfully reproduce the issue)
(2) the entire file must be in a relatively easy to read format
(3) the file must not contain any data which could be considered private
The flat XML format works well in this regard, except for #3.
To rectify #3, I propose one or more options for the flat XML format to remove
custom user data. Custom user data can include names of printers, filespecs,
fonts, LibreOffice options, lists of installed extensions, etc.
I frequently run into files at client offices that demonstrate major bugs, but
cannot submit them because I cannot be sure all client data has been removed.
This proposed enhancement would encourage more submissions of bug demonstration
files.
The goal is for bugs to be identified and fixed faster and more efficiently.
