Bug ID: 117420
Summary: NAVIGATOR .. create "OUTLINE DOCUMENT" -- the next
stop after SEND → OUTLINE to Clipboard
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.1.0.0.alpha1+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
dear developers,
we are totally aware of the fact that free software dev teams have an ego...
see how long it took for Mozilla's Firefox to put the "refresh" button to where
it ergonomically belongs... only because of the corporate competitor, Google
Chrome had it there already...
we can sense sort of the same underlying the development of Libreoffice's
Writer's NAVIGATOR function ... only because of the corporate competitor's
presence..
In any case, THE OUTLINE VIEW (which we keep begging for) (and won't stop :))
is unreasonably, even irrationally buried in the "SEND" menu..
what does copying the outline of a doc have to do with sending, in the first
place?
the entire group:
EXPORT
EXPORT as
SEND
Preview in Web Browser
is illogical to a significant extent..
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
SUGGESTION for the next step, next stage:
"outline" should be in the Navigator's menu..
when viewing "headings"
in the dropdown
(outline level
drag mode
display)
there should be: copy outline to clipboard
::::::::::: 2 (one step further)
an OUTLINE DOCUMENT could be created
(NOTE: not "document outline" !!! but "an OUTLINE document" !!)
like a TOC...
and this document -- the outline document)
would be UPDATED in real time
but only one way... by editing THE document...
and it would be in the same directory, locked by the same "locking file"..
it should be renamable (so that you could find it easily in the directory)
and once the document is moved somewhere...
the "CREATE the OUTLINE DOCUMENT" button / menu item would be active again,
that is, it would lose its previous "outline document" as an exported copy of
it..
::::::: toolbars
the toolbars can be made to disappear altogether...
and a special new toolbar, OUTLINE, could be introduced...
and that would be visible only in the outline document's window...
and it would offer very minimalistic editing only:
a quick SAVE a COPY AS exporting button, for example
::::::: commenting
it would be nice if we could add notes, comments to the outline document
in such fashion that the NOTE would appear under the heading of the section..
:::::: behavior
when the heading is rewritten, it would be rewritten in the OUTLINE Document,
too, in real time...
BUT when it is cut out, and there are notes under it in the OUTLINE document,
the "deleted heading" would be left there in gray color... for example...
I mean, "grayed"... (as a larger block of "commented out" text)
which then could be manually, intentionally deleted... but also kept...
please excuse me for the length...
thanks for your work!
Peter
