Bug ID: 157482
Summary: Turn Security Warnings popup windows into infobars
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium

Example file to demonstrate security warnings
LibreOffice can issue a warning when a document with hidden information, such
as document versions or recorded changes, is saved, signed, printed, or
exported to a PDF. In addition, personal information, such as the author of a
document or comment, can be automatically removed by LibreOffice when the
document is the document is saved. The functionality is intended to prevent
sensitive information in a document from being overlooked and accidentally
shared. By default these options are not enabled.
In the current implementation, if the appropriate configuration options are
enabled, a warning will be issued and/or the personal information will be
removed each time the document is saved. This can quickly be perceived as
annoying, causing approval fatique. There is a risk that the warning is
routinely clicked away. In addition, cooperative work on the document is made
more difficult, for example, because the author can no longer understand a
change. In the project it is to be discussed and then implement how a less
disruptive warning can be created here. One possibility to consider would be to
replace the individual warnings with an infobar at the top of the page.
1. Go to Options - Security
2. Press Options button on top
3. Enable all 4 Security Warnings
4. Open attached file
5. Try to
Save it as PDF or
Digitally sign or
Save as odt or
Print
-> You get an annoying popup window.
This could be less intrusive by using an infobar, laying groundwork to enable
these features by default.
