--- Comment #7 from [email protected] --- Well, first we need to make sure we all have the same understanding of what the function is supposed to do. So let’s check. First: I think we agree about what the existing UNO function is supposed to do (“Show / Hide content below”). So that only leaves. . . Second: “▪ Hide all content below level [X].” This is my understanding of what we want to have happen: 1. As shown in the demo, the user clicks the context-menu option now labeled “"Fold All Content Of Outline Level.” 2. Again as in the demo, a dialogue appears, offering the user the chance to specify any level, 0-10. 3. The user specifies a level – let’s say “3.” 4. Throughout the entire document, all the subheads for levels 3 and above (1, 2, and 3) will be visible. And – again, throughout-- the subheads for levels 4 and below (5, 6, 7. . .) will be hidden. Now, thinking further: We need to decide what will happen with content that doesn’t *have* a level. Beneath a subhead we might have some text, a chart, or what have you. And this, from what I understand, is all “no-level content.” Before, I was thinking that when we show a subhead we should show the content beneath it. But on further thought I think a better behavior would be to hide all such content in the document and just show the subheads, to the level specified. So when I specify a level—1, 2, 3, or whatever—all content other than subheads, throughout the document, is hidden. Then all I see is an outline of subheads, at whatever depth I specify. (And wherever I want to see underlying content, I can show it, using the already-existing UNO command.) This approach would give a clean outline to look at. It’s simple and intuitive. And it’s what users migrating to LO from elsewhere may already be used to. So that seems the best approach me. How does it seem to you? Also, the folks at Redmond (bless their profit-seeking hearts) have assigned to the command an eminently simple label: “Show Level” (followed by a choice box). Brilliant PS: Jim Raykowski wrote: >'...to level' gives me the impression all outline content currently folded >should be made visible/unfolded before the new fold to level is applied. As mentioned above, I suggest we hide *all* content – everything apart from subheads. and >As the patch stands now, the level specified does not affect outline content >currently folded. Understood. Again, I suggest that all non-subhead content be folded. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
