Max Addler <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|WONTFIX | Ever Confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #2 from Max Addler <[email protected]> 2012-08-23 07:02:51 UTC --- Thank you for having seriously considered this one. Having been a programmer, I know situations where two completely different concepts are being presented to the user as being the same thing - this is what I read from your comment. This makes it difficult to access effects from one concept from within another concept. However, I was suggesting this as a business user. It is a common situation that by changing one value inside a large spreadsheet, one or several others in distant parts of the same spreadsheet or even in other tables do change. Conditional formatting is very helpful to visually indicate such an indirect change, especially when the affected value runs out of valid bounds for a given business case. Frequently tables do not fit onto the screen as s whole, so in absence of a search function one needs to manually scroll through all the tables to look for such an indication of "out-of-bounds" values. This is tedious and error-prone - cells get overlooked and "out-of-bounds" values remain inside the sheet, which leads to errors in applying the results of the sheet in business, and which therefore reduces the usability of LibreOffice in such situations. Being able to search for those "out-of-bounds" values by looking for the resulting format automatically is like an assertion inside generated program code - it is a valid and valuable quality measure. Of course I am aware that when I am asking you to reconsider, I do build on the goodwill of a proboably voluntary contributors (you and others), and I do appreciate your work very much. So my intention with this comment is to give further explations while I filed this bug. Although I would not be happy to hear that my buisness case is unintended use of LibreOffice or that LibreOffice is structurally incapable of hosting such a change, in those cases I would gladly accept a "WONTFIX". Otherwise I would be very happy with a "LATER" or "REMIND" state and a consideration in discussions for later versions of LibreOffice. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
