Bug ID: 145114
Summary: If the template has been detached, it is still
specified in "File > Properties > General" + Provide
an option to avoid "Update styles" dialog window
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.1.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When you open a document which is based on the template that has been changed
since the last time you saved the document, there will be a message like this
one:
```
The template 'Foo' on which this document is based, has been modified. Do you
want to update style based formatting according to the modified template?
Update Styles / Keep Old Styles
```
There are three problems.
1. The first problem is that if you select "Keep Old Styles", this will in fact
detach the template from the document, so that you won't receive the same
message "The template 'Foo' on which this document is based, has been
modified..." so you never again see such a message for this document, even if
you change the template again.
Possible solutions:
* To rename the "Keep Old Styles" button to something that sounds more scary.
* To add an option under "Tools > Options" to never show this dialog window and
instead apply "Update Styles" choice silently.
* To provide an option to reattach a detached template.
2. The second problem that if you select "Keep Old Styles" and then open "File
> Properties > General", the field "Template" still have "Foo" as its value
("Foo" is the name of your template). I think this is simply not true, since
the template has been detached. And of course this is confusing.
