Bug ID: 145981
Summary: Eliminate the "Document is read-only" warning dialog
and merge functionality with infobar
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Basis:
1. The read-only dialog warning is redundant with the info bar warning.
2. The user experience would be better if the writeability notification was
integrated with the infobar and always active (with optional disablement in the
config).
3. The dialog is annoying when the file is under control of a VCS or document
management system and the user is already aware of the file status when opening
it. When browsing through a bunch of such files it guarantees doubling the
number of mouse clicks for access.
It may make sense to combine the read-only infobar with real-time collaboration
or CMIS status updates. While not directly related to the read-only dialog
file locking and writeability are the primary contentions in these situations.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open read-only file
2.
3.
Actual Results:
Read-only/notification dialog displayed followed by read-only infobar shown
Expected Results:
Option available to skip the the read-only/notification dialog
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
v7.2.3.2 (not in version list)
