--- Comment #4 from Regina Henschel <[email protected]> --- ODF 1.3 has the text, "The <dc:creator> element specifies the name of the person who last modified a document (<office:meta>)". Thus it does not provide a history but shows only the last author. As far as I know there exists no element in ODF, that could provide a history of authors. The request for a history of authors could be considered by the ODF TC, when working again on change tracking. But that project is on hold because it is not receiving enough support from application programmers. An application using current ODF 1.3 could use <meta:user-defined> elements to preserve the history of authors or add an own xml-file to the package, similar as the VersionList.xml file LO writes for included versions. As that is not done by LibreOffice, authors need to take care themselves. Currently I see no way to automatically update such information in the document other by using a macro bind to the "Document is going to be closed" or another suitable event. I consider this report as valid feature request to somehow implement an automatic history of authors. When such a feature will be implemented, it is urgently necessary to contact the ODF TC at an early stage. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
