Bug ID: 102002
Summary: Redesign of the Load Styles dialog
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-b...@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: philip...@hotmail.com
CC: libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org
Writer has the Style > Load Style dialog which allows a user to import styles
from templates or files, but the user experience isnt as useful as it could be
for the intended target audience.
So here are a list of features that are needed to improve it.
1) The dialog needs to be accessible in all modules
2) A 'source' drop down list should be the first control a user interacts with
and it has two entries in it for 'Templates' and 'Documents'
3) The template category listbox would have a first entry called 'All
Categories', similar to the template manager, and the list would be disabled if
source is set to 'Documents'.
4) When source is set to 'Documents', the templates listbox will list opened
documents from the same module
5) When source is set to 'Documents', the 'From File...' will be enabled and
selecting a file in the dialog will add its filename to the templates listbox
6) Instead of style type checkboxes to import all or none of the styles of a
particular type, the selected file's styles will be shown in a tree view so a
user can not only easily check and uncheck all of the styles of particular
type, but can also select particular ones
7) The overwrite checkbox should be changed to a drop down list and have the
options ignore, overwrite, and append to decide what to do with duplicate
entries.
My only concern with these features is in number 6, as i wonder how resource
intensive it is to parse a file's style structure. I'll leave it up to devs to
give their input on how plausible it is, though it was a feature found in the
template management dialog of the template manager in LO 3.6.
