I disagree here. You tend to polarize the users as either experts or
non-experts. There are those in between who want to make an informed
decision and will understand the verbiage. The user who reported the
above bug is one such example.
Is it possible to remove the dialog? I think I prefer not to have
anything automatically updated and have a menu item to update it.
Doesn't the dialog offer the choice to update or not?
Rationale:
[1] if data is there and it's the same, it doesn't make sense to update.
[2] if data is not there, it doesn't make sense to update.
[3] if data is there and differs, the only way to see the old data is
to hit "no".
And the contrary:
- user has some data, that is known to be updated,
- opens a file that uses the data and wants to update it immediately.
Isn't that how the dialog is meant to be used?
Now, how would users be able to refresh links? Through a menu item.
Of course, users should be notified that there is existing external
resources. If LibO can notify that external resources have changed,
it would be even better.
Best,
Cor
