Bug ID: 148100
Summary: Easy hack: Clarify the pivot tables dialog
instructions label to mention double-clicking to edit
the properties of a field item
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: trivial
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The current pivot table dialog currently only shows this label as instructions:
"<u>Drag the Items into the Desired Position</u>"
...but there is a hidden feature there, that I could never discover by myself
until I stumbled on it in the user manual, and it shouldn't be that hard to
discover: the fact that you can double-click to configure how a particular
field item is represented/calculated.
So at the very least, this info label should say:
"<b>Tip:</b> drag & drop items to the desired positions. Double-click them to
configure how they are calculated."
Of course this does not replace a more complete UI overhaul to make it easier
to understand (bug #131654) but at least changing this label could be done
_now_ as a very easy hack, probably one line of code, and the change preserved
in whatever new design may come up later down the road.
