--- Comment #11 from Aron Budea <[email protected]> ---
Another option would be if warnings on saves in different formats could be
tuned in a more fine-grained way.
There is this setting: Tools -> Options... -> Load/Save -> General -> Warn when
not saving in ODF or default format
The problem is that this warning is probably among one of the first things
people turn off, because it's really intrusive, and appears every single time
(when a non-ODF type is used).
I thinks it would be worth to think about more effective warnings.
Like, only warn if one of the changes used a feature that can't be saved
properly in the current format.
Or show the current format more prominently on the UI, since now when a CSV is
opened, only the file name in the top left corner shows that it's in CSV
format.
One could argue people should pay more attention, but that doesn't change
anything, people will keep getting bitten by this. (like this person on reddit
today:
https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/4tsnx2/mistakenly_saved_as_a_csv/
)
My general question to the UX team:
could repeated saving in different, less sophisticated formats be improved to
give better warnings to the user, and prevent unintended data loss?
