            Bug ID: 98779
           Summary: UI: "single action" save icon doesn't give a hint of
                    the document status
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.1.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

tested under Win8.1 x64 using LibO 5.1.0.3, 5.1.1.3 and recent 5.2.0.0 daily
build.


this issue is quite similar to:
Bug 96590 - UI: save icon does not give a hint of the document status

however while Bug 96590 referred to the new save "split button" and was fixed
by the design team with an icon modification, this problem still exist for the
old "single action" save button.

in order to enable the "single action" save icon and replace the "split button"
save icon (which is now default in 5.1.x) you should tweak the expert
configuration:

Tools -> Options -> Advanced "Expert Configuration" session and searching for
"SaveToolbarController"

then edit the "controller" string replacing

"com.sun.star.comp.framework.SaveToolbarController"

with

"com.sun.star.comp.framework.GenericPopupToolbarController"

on LibreOffice restart, restores the non-split button behavior to the Toolbar
"Save" button.


this way you can restore the old "single action" button from 5.0.x and previous
LibO releases.

the only problem is that unlike older realeases, the "greyed" out effect that
involved the icon after clicking the Save icon for a modified existing file is
no longer present.

the "greyed out" effect was a useful visual hint to let the user know when a
document was modified and needed saving.

actually the "split button" features 2 different icons to let the user know if
the document needs saving.

I don't know what technically gave the greyed out effect in 5.0.x (was it a
separate icon or just a processing of the normal icon?) but I think a similar
thing should be done for the "single action" button as well.

I set status to NEW since this problem has been already confirmed by another
user here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98730#c32
