--- Comment #17 from Peter Toye <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Aron Budea from comment #15) So where does this leave us? At the moment the code and documentation differ - at least one should change. > I don't agree that it should ultimately be considered as an issue in the API > documentation, because the API usage is based on that documentation, and > users expect the functions to work as described there. If someone wanted to > use this function, they must've expected that Overwrite would be false by > default, based on the documentation. I agree with this, provided that changing the code to reflect the documentation isn't going to stop existing programs from working. > If they noticed the contradiction between the documentation and actual > behavior, and relied on the way it worked, that's a deliberate action (and a > serious mistake). One has to rely on the way it works, so it's not a mistake! I could have simply decided to remember each time I saved that it should be to a different file (unless I really wanted to overwrite). Of course I didn't and set the Overwrite flag to prevent overwriting. > On the other hand there might also be code out there that relies on the > documented default value of the Overwrite flag, and the bug simply went > unnoticed. ...and overwrote a file (as happened to me)! My personal view is that the code should be changed to reflect the documentation, which in my opinion is the desired behaviour. But I have no idea if the LO development team feel that current behaviour should take priority over documentation. Maybe someone from that team could comment. I'm only a user so I don't know the correct form to get action, but it's been 8 months since any comments on this issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
