Summary: UI for inserting OLE objects on Windows is awfully
confusing
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: NEW
Version: Inherited From OOo
Component: UI
Product: LibreOffice
as discussed in bug 64265, the UI for inserting OLE objects
on Windows is quite bad, with 2 parallel dialog hierarchies
for inserting native Win32 OLE2 objects, and embedded objects
of formats that LO supports.
see especially comment #6 which i'll quote a bit
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64265#c6
you can insert a native Win32 OLE object
from "Insert OLE object" dialog by
"Create new", then click "Further objects", a dialog
"Insert Object" pops up that again has "Create new" _and_
"Create from file" options!
Apparently the "Insert OLE object" dialog is generic and available
on all platforms, while the "Insert Object" dialog uses the
"real" OLE and is only available on Windows.
i think we need both ways to do it on Windows, since you may
want to create OLE objects from files that are non-native
to LO and for which you don't have the editing application
installed... but the current UI is quite confusing.
