V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #8 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- So thinking about this a bit... A template--native ODF or not--is a template, and not simply a document. They need to be managed, edited and maintained of course. But, they are a special class of documents that should be handled other than normal documents. So, any reason they could not be handled from the Template manager? Either the "My templates" panel, or implement a new "Recent templates" listing and/or GUI panel? =-= Q: Functionally what happens within LibreOffice when opening a template is it being opened to edit the template, or opened to create a new document? A: It depends 1.) for ODF templates--the user decides at the end with their save action 2.) for other templates MSO, OOXML, WP, etc.--a new document is created by filter action of reading in the template. A new document is not intentional, just the affect of filter process to render into ODF. And of course the round trip overwrite--Save-as from ODF, if supported by export filter--will often corrupt the template. So we really should not be attempting to "edit" non-native templates. Q: Does it make sense to include the recently used templates (with or without thumbnails) on the recent documents list or as StartCenter thumbnails? A: IMHO, I think not-- and that handling should include the ODF templates. So what then to do with them? Rework the Template manager to include recently used templates seems to be appropriate. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
