Bug ID: 99059
Summary: Simplify and upgrade the page numbering system
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

Hello everybody, this request for enhancement has been carefully thinked after
I encounter major drawbacks in the numbering system of libreoffice.
I found it *way* to complex, and absolutely difficult to deal with for
* skipping arbitrary page in the numbering of your document
* simply reinitialize the page numbering at any point of your document
Basically, page numbering is just a counter that increments at each new page.
Here are some suggestions to help relieving libreoffice of its drawbacks :
--
* Simplify and upgrade the page style system. The page style should not depend
on the previous page as it is already the case.
* The page style should be editable for any single page (ie, you should be able
to easily
- create new style
- assign this new style to a given page
- change the page style for each page of a document without other effect than
updating the page numbering of the rest of the document
* The page style should maintain all the information about the numbering. If
one want to reinitialize the numbering arbitrary at a given page for a given
page style, it should subsequently update the following page number for pages
of this given style.
--
Let me conclude :
the page style system is actually way too clumsy to work efficiently and to be
simple and intuitive from the user point of view. See above suggestions for
improvement.
