Bug ID: 145102
Summary: WRITER -- "open template" -- clearing up terms and
menu titles (a little bit of reorg)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.4.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: j...@cspv.hu
hi,
I have just took "FILE/Templates/Open template", and the selected template
actually opened as a template, for editing. Wow!
Could have been that a new document had been created based on the selected
template...
I remember that I always had problem with these menu items, menu titles...
then checked another route:
"File/Templates/manage templates/open" -- and bumm, it was a new document based
on the selected template...
that is, things have not been tidied up totally yet :)
- - -
what I'd expect as improvements of the menu titles regarding templates:
#1 "Templates/open template" should stay as it is :) cause it does what its
title says :)
#2 below "Templates/open template" there could be a "new from template" menu
item...
#3 there could be a "This:" menu item on the top, showing the current
document's template, and whether or not it would be updated, that is, whether
or not some in-document changes have been committed to the styles and a normal
update is no longer possible...
#4 now, this one is a brave new idea, came up in this very moment, sorry if
it is stupid :) BUT... there could be a "change underlying template" or simply:
"change this template" (meaning this doc's template) menu item, too...
which would open the templates window, and we could select which template
should be made the new basis for our current document...
- - - -
in the templates window... (manage templates)
#5 "EDIT" is cool... cause it does what it says... BUT "Open" could be
replaced with "New from this" or "New doc"
#6 the same would happen, of course, when you go: "File/New/Templates"....
however, "Templates" could be replaced with "From template"...
#7 "File/Wizards" seems logical to go to "File/New/Wizards"
whereas "File/Templates" should stay where it is :) :)
For wizards and templates together "suggest" the context of creating a new
document...
#8 perhaps "File/Properties" could move up to be together with "Templates"...
like "separator | Templates Properties | separator" (vertically arranged, of
course :))
- - - thank you for developing Libreoffice - - -
