--- Comment #10 from Astron <[email protected]> --- Long time no answer... (In reply to comment #8) > Why add a feature when there is *already* one, as I said: selection of the > type "template" in the Open dialog ? > > By doing this the user makes clear its intention to open the template. No, not at all (at least I can't see any reason why filtering for templates would mean that a user wants to edit said template). All the format picker does and should do in this case is filter out unwanted file formats. To me, your solutions seems rather unintuitive, because it is hard to trigger and rather oblique to the user. > Users are accustomed to using this list to change the default opening. > This is the same list that they used to save as "template". Right, but: a) what you say goes only for saving b) you can still override that choice by adding a file extension and quotes around the file name (or at least that's the way it is in notepad.exe, not completely sure about LibO) @Cor, comment 7: Shift-Click is an interesting idea, but I see two problems with it: * It's not particularly discoverable either (though that doesn't disqualify it as a secondary way to access the function) * Shift-Click is usually associated with multiple selections in this context, as is Ctrl-Click, so I am a bit dubious about whether it would be confusing to have two different interpretations of Shift-Click so close to each -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
