Bug ID: 153770
Summary: Proposal to modify "Create Index or Table of Contents"
and Type-dependent "Create From" sections in Type tab
of ToC/Index
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]
Discussion in bug 153637, comment 6, raised the question of "how does the naive
user read [one of the labels] - which gave a useful perspective for looking at
the dialog.
Here is an attempt to simplify/streamline, make meanings of sections more
explicit.
The focus is on the two lower sections, with the titles:
Create Index or Table of Contents
Create From
-------------
Scope (of ToC or Index)
( ) Entire Document
( ) Chapter
[depending on selected Type]
Create ToC From
Evaluate up to level [] (underneath the 3 checkboxes)
Create Table (of Figures) From
Create Index (of Tables) From
Create Index From (User-defined)
Create Table (of Objects) From
no change for Alphabetical Index and Bibliography
------------------
Some explanations.
1. Instead of "Create" appearing twice, "Scope" should be meaningful, and why
have a dropdown with 2 items? (optional whether "Index and TOC" should be
mentioned.)
2. The current "Create From" section changes, depending on the selected Type.
a. It should be possible to identify the specific kind of Index or TOC that
is being created, as illustrated above (i.e., much more specific than "Create
From")
b. The "Evaluate up to level" in Type TOC is always index level (but as
discussed in bug 153596, can be left unspecified for now), so it can be moved
meaningful down.
