--- Comment #17 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalr...@gmx.com> --- (In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #16) > Every default may (and best does) apply to templates. But yet: > 1. There are these existing controls in Options, that allow to set the > non-template defaults; and if they are needed at all, we should decide where > they are; So, case-by-case basis. > 2. There are cases where even templates don't suffice - like Calc column > default width/height, something hardcoded, and used e.g. when you delete > some rows/columns, and Calc appends the new stuff, and there are people who > consider impossibility to customize it to be a bad thing; Indeed, that's a good example of something I wouldn't put in a template (although, theoretically, you probably could), and would keep in the LO options dialog. > 3. It is good to not multiply places where you configure one thing. E.g., > when you think about font, you go to Format->Character; and having font > settings *also* in other place (in Options just for defaults) is a bad UX; Agree in most cases, but not always. There is also something to be said for dividing the UI by semantic categories. Anyway, I have no strong opinion. > 4. Having a single "apply this document settings as global defaults" would > be inconvenient, given how many things may come from the document, which > user is even unaware of (does user know e.g. if the printer setting would be > stored, and then cause delays when the network printer is turned off?). This might also be a matter of balance between extremes: A single button for all settings is inconvenient, but so are a hundred buttons for a hundred settings. Or maybe even a dialog for selecting which features to adopt as defaults? Just thinking out loud. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
