Bug ID: 88148
Summary: Image caption management forces to insert a category
and numbering even if you do not need it
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.0.1 rc
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: silva...@katamail.com
Here we go:
Open a writer doc, insert any image. In the context menu, choose "insert
caption"
The "category" list allows to add a repeating word automatically, like "table"
etc.; there is also the item <none> which is needed when you want to create a
caption with no repeating word or numbering.
The problem n. 1 is, if you choose the latter option, the "OK" button is
deactivated and you actually cannot insert the caption without a repeating
starting word.
Problem n.2 is as follows: in the dialog window, open the category list and
choose "none": the OK button is greyed out. Then reopen the list and choose any
other category. After this, if you try to choose "none" again, this is
impossible, and the category reverts to the last one right after you try and
fail to select none with the mouse.
Problem n.3 is that even if it would be possible to actually select <none> in
the category list, there is no "none" item in the "numbering" list, so it
appears that avoinding a numbering would be impossible all the same
I know that the rule is "one problem, one bug report", but here the issues are
so closely related that filing 3 distinct reports seemed inappropriate.
Workaround: you can leave the default category, insert the caption with the
unwanted word at the beginning, and then manually delete the word and the
numbering in each caption for each picture if you do not want them. This is of
course a burdensome process.
Note that the "categorized" captions are commonplace in scientific
publications, but they are almost never used in other kind of documents (in a
magazine or newsletter for example, most of the times captions are not
categorized nor numbered).
