[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blocks| |120201 --- Comment #3 from [email protected] --- The OP started innocently as a report of a missing Help-Link, but has now expanded into queries about the operation of the dialog boxes themselves. Will ask questions here for now, and can spin out additional tickets if it seems appropriate. As background, Getting Started Guide 7.3 and Writer Guide 7.3 have only minimal (almost identical) information about the Writing Aids/Edit Module dialogue, and both of them refer to Help for "details on using the Available Language Module". iow -- seems worth reviewing if the online help is clear in relation to the expected behavior of the dialogue. (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #2) > Looking at the UI the checkbox disables a dictionary in both the options tab > as well the edit dialog. Not able to repro in Windows. Any changes for individual languages in Edit Modules are "remembered" for the selected language, but does not make any changes in the main window. OS-specific problem? Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: d466df5bc220eb80b8a51ff64507de881b938ed3 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: da-DK (da_DK); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded New (related UX) question: Toggling an entry in the toplevel Available Language Modules (e.g., Hunspell) will (silently) "reset" any changes to individual languages that were made with Edit Modules. That seems "bad" (even though it sort of documented, see Question 2 in comment 1). Seems better to: 1. Drop Edit Module dialog. 2. Replace "Available Language Modules" title with "Language" selection dropdown box, plus have an "All Languages" option, which would change the setting for all languages (as currently happens silently at top level). 3. Drop "Edit" button and replace with "Move Up", "Move Down", "Back" from Edit module. This would: - show more immediately and clearly what settings are made for a particular language. - remove ambiguity about relation of top-level window to the entries in the Edit Modules dialog. - remove "silent" reset of individual language settings - eliminate an additional step for editing or checking individual languages With such a change, then it would also make sense to move the link for "adding dictionaries" to be under this window. By showing the language at the top, can more quickly evaluate whether a relevant dictionary is installed. > Move up/down becomes enabled if more than one item Thanks for clarification. (have not been able to figure out how to get more than one option to appear -- and could not find documentation). > Btw, the button "Back" looks to me as if it works as a reset function. Noticed also.
