[libreoffice-design] [Writer] Header/footer deletion from the UI
Hello, (not sure whether this goes to design or ux, so I'm flooding both :) LibO version 3.6.4.0+ (Build ID: 2f42a6c) Xubuntu 12.04 Writer interface - Using the header (resp. footer) option in the UI If I ask to delete an existing header using the Header button, I'm receiving a confirmation dialog informing that the header contents will be lost. I feel that this behaviour is interfeering with the user workflow. IMO, the header deletion should be immediate (if the users asks for that, of course he knows that the contents will disappear!) so that the user can continue working on his document. But, of course, this operation should be undoable (which it is not currently).

For starters, you could try making header/footer deletion undoable (see the ux-advise list for the discussion on that). Or if you'd like a bigger project, we could finish up color handling [1] if you'd agree to implement it. Or if you'd like to work on design, take a look at the whiteboards we have [2].

Hi everyone! Am Sonntag, den 28.10.2012, 02:34 -0600 schrieb Adolfo Jayme Barrientos: I agree, the deletion alert is unnecessary. If the user wants to recover the header, they should be able to do so by using the “Undo” functionality. Yes, but it has been kept, because a major problem hasn't been solved since years ... please see: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboard/Writer_SpecialIndicators#Known_Issues If anybody could adress this issue first, that would be great!
