https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138861 --- Comment #4 from Fred Hamilton --- "No need to list infinite list of what is not required." Why do you keep saying I want an infinite list? I wanted one line of text in the installer, you don't agree, so I guess we're done.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138861 --- Comment #3 from Mike Kaganski --- (In reply to Fred Hamilton from comment #2) No, the installer should not add any such text. It's just silly. Additionally, when user has already started the installer, it's surely too late to tell "Oh, you had that strange idea that we kept requirement to uninstall previous version top secret, and had uninstalled it? Too bad, you needed not to do that". We only must have full requirements on our download page, and various wikis. No need to list infinite list of what is not required. Only if we miss something really required, should we actually add that. By the way, if uninstalling a previous version manually were required, our installer would detect that and stop, telling you to do so. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138861 --- Comment #2 from Fred Hamilton --- I apologize if I sounded unreasonable. All I am trying to do is make a suggestion that might make the LibreOffice experience that much more friction-free. You said "It's not required to uninstall anything, that's why it's not mentioned." So is there a way to make exactly that information available when someone is installing? Perhaps on the first screen of the installer, where it says "LibreOffice x.x.x.x is preparing the Installation Wizard which will guide you through the program setup process", one could add some flavor of "If you have a previous version of LibreOffice installed, this will replace it - there is no need to uninstall your current version." -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138861 --- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski --- It's unreasonable. It only makes sense to list what *need* to be done, not what is *not required*. It's not required to uninstall anything, that's why it's not mentioned. Also it's not required to put a specific desktop wallpaper, buy specific snacks, etc. The possible list of "what is not needed" is infinite, and if a user somehow decides to think "it doesn't ask me to uninstall; what if it's still needed?", it's some wrong set of mind. But no objection to add a new FAQ if wanted. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
