Bug ID: 105250
Summary: insert cross-reference: "insert reference to" should
remember user selection
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.3.2 rc
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In the Fields dialog, in the Cross-references tab (Insert->Cross-reference),
one must select what one wishes to reference, eg a bookmark, a heading, a
figure, a table or something else.
When working on a large document, there will be different default ways that the
user will want to refer to these things, eg for a figure you might want
"Category and Number" to reference "Figure 1", but for a bookmark you might
want "Chapter" in order to reference "ยง2.2". For an equation, you might want
something else again.
It would be ideal if this dialog were able to remember the recent user
preference for cross-references of the different types. So that when I insert a
Figure reference, I don't need to click "Category and Number" every time.
Note: as of 5.2.3, LO is already quite a bit smarter than it used to be: it
remembers the previous reference "type" and the previous "insert reference to".
What is suggested here is a small additional refinement.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert reference to a figure (Category and Name)
2. Insert a reference to a bookmark (Chapter)
3. Insert reference to another figure (Category and Name)
Actual Results:
At step 3, it is necessary to manually select 'Category and Name' again.
Expected Results:
If the "Insert reference to" box could remember what kind of reference was last
used for each reference type, then it would save additional clicks.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
