Priority: medium
Bug ID: 83614
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: EDITING: Option to disable search results in Replace
All
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: tmac...@gmail.com
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.0.4 release
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice
I would like to have the ability to disable "Search Results" when performing a
Replace-All in Calc. This would return it to the pre-LibreOffice 4.2.x
implementation.
In LibreOffice 4.2.X, Calc implemented showing the “Search Results” dialog for
Find-All and Replace-All functions. It now pops up a dialog with a list of all
cells that were found and/or modified.
I do like the “Search Results” window and think it is quite useful for
Find-All, since you actually are looking for results in that function.
Unfortunately, dismissing this dialog adds an extra step to my workflow and
hampers productivity when performing many Replacements. Even with
Replacements, I can see how it might appear helpful to have a list of all
things that have been replaced, but its utility simply isn't worth the
inefficiency.
I think it would be a good option to include in the “Other Options” section of
the Find and Replace dialog, as long as the setting is sticky. If not there, I
don't know where it should live. It could possibly even live under the expert
config page, as long as I have a way of setting it.
Also, I'm aware that Writer and other components pop-up a similar dialog
showing how many items were replaced, which makes them just as inefficient.
But Calc is used much more frequently for heavy data manipulation, typically
involving lots of replacements.
