--- Comment #9 from Damian Hofmann <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #8) I'm sure it will break someones existing workflow if you remove FTP support for external data linking and "Open/Save remove". But I can also see, why FTP shouldn't be used at this point. Still, I think some users will be caught on the wrong foot, if you just "announce" it deprecated and then remove it. Very few user read the release notes. Maybe consider a multi-step approach: 1. Disable the feature by default, but allow it to be enabled in the settings for some time 1. Show the deprecation notice there in the settings, so that users who depend on these features (and have to re-enable it) can't miss it 1. Remove in a later version I don't use these features myself, so I'm not personally affected. I'm fine, as long as I can embed links of any protocol in my documents and those links open with the default application, as configured in the OS. I don't even need the "Insert Hyperlink" dialog to assist me. A simple dialog with "link text" and "URL" would be good enough for me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
