--- Comment #5 from Jay Philips <[email protected]> --- Well we discussed it at the design meeting and Kendy felt it shouldnt be included, it even crashed LO for some strange reason while he was checking how it worked. :D (In reply to Adolfo Jayme from comment #4) > This is an *advanced* option that must > not appear in main menus. It’s relegated to the Options dialog for a reason. Maybe its just me, but i dont consider this an advanced feature. I dont think WordPerfect thinks of it as an advanced feature as well. I consider View > Data Sources as an advanced feature, because i dont use it and consider most casual word processor users dont use it either. > It’s simply against user experience, > I won’t be surprised at all if a user gets confused because suddenly their > app “broke” and refuses to load images (a basic feature), only to discover > that they mistakenly enabled an option to break viewing. Frustration and bad > press to come. Everyone's user experience is different and that is one of the reasons we provide choices. I had a guy who pressed the insert key file a bug that the cursor was large and overwriting characters. Users who never opened the View menu would never mistakenly turn it on and it not having a shortcut would mean that they wouldnt mistakenly turn it on by a key combination. > The only valid use case I can think of for the “Disable Images” option is if > you’re running LO through a VM or a thin client.

Having it in the menu isnt giving it any type of special prominence. Putting it in the toolbar or creating a new menu category for it would be giving it prominence. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
