Bug ID: 153242
Summary: Change label "Separator" to "Before Caption" in
Caption dialog
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Open "Insert Caption" dialog.
Notice "Separator" label in Properties options.
Enhancement proposal: "Separator" -> "Before Caption"
Reasons:
1. "Before Caption" is more accurate (because the entry in that field does not
appear unless a caption is entered).
2. When a caption is inserted and the Edit Fields dialog is used for the
Caption number field, then "Separator" appears (in the Numbering by Chapter)
section of the Edit Fields dialog. The "separator" in Edit Fields is a
different (and unrelated) to the current "Separator" in the Captions dialog
(e.g., Caption dialog allows multicharacter entries, edit field dialog allows
only 1 character). The proposed change would avoid confusion by not using the
same label for two different functions that appear closely together in the
caption label.
3. "Separator" is also used as a label in the Customize List dialog allows.
This is a third (unrelated) "meaning" of Separator (but appearing in a similar
kind of situation). Again, seems valuable to reduce the linguistic overlap.
