[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 80617] UI: Simplification of status bar page numbering
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80617 --- Comment #7 from Owen Genat owen.ge...@gmail.com --- (In reply to comment #6) I think you made a mistake with the format of Alt A and Alt B in comment 3, as there is a missing space after the 'p.', as it was p. 1 | Page 5 / 302 (comment 1) and Page 4 / 302 | p. iv (comment 2). Yes. There should indeed be an extra space after the period. Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80617 --- Comment #5 from Owen Genat owen.ge...@gmail.com --- Created attachment 102184 -- https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=102184action=edit 5-page ODT, p.A, p.a, and p.i (with 2 filler pages) using custom page styles. (In reply to comment #4) So to me 'Page 4 / 302' doesnt have a page number according to the printed page numbers on the page. As I explained, what is displayed on the page is not relevant to what is displayed in the status bar. Refer the attached example. None of the pages display a page number in the document, but all display page numbering information, in addition to positional information, in the status bar. This enhancement will simply make these two pieces of information more consistent and clear. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80617 --- Comment #3 from Owen Genat owen.ge...@gmail.com --- (In reply to comment #2) ... i think the 'Page 4 / 302 | p. iv' would be more suitable as the 'Page X / X' part wont be moving left and right Fair enough. This also applies to lengthy formats, such as Roman numerals. In this sense it is a consideration, regardless of whether the page numbers are always displayed or contextually suppressed, which indicates the Proposed and Alt.B forms (in the examples below) as preferable. (In reply to comment #2) ... pages which have and dont have a page number. I am not clear on what this means. All pages have a page number (the format of which is set on the Page tab when editing the page style). Whether that number is displayed (on the page) or not is a separate issue. The status bar displays metadata about document pages, and so IMO should _always_ display the current page number (in the set format) as well as the positional information within the document. This also helps indicate the format a page number field will use prior to insertion. In LO (at present) the Page a b / c form only occurs after the point where page numbers have been reset. Pages prior to this point (at least in an ODT) always display Page a / b, when a in this case can take any form of page number e.g., Page 1 / 99, Page A / 99, Page a / 99, Page i / 99, etc. Here is a basic example, using Arabic numerals, renumbering after p.2: Current ProposedAlt.A Alt.B --- - - Page 1 / 99Page 1 / 99 (1) p.1 | Page 1 / 99 Page 1 / 99 | p.1 Page 2 / 99Page 2 / 99 (2) p.2 | Page 2 / 99 Page 2 / 99 | p.2 Page 1 3 / 99 Page 3 / 99 (1) p.1 | Page 3 / 99 Page 3 / 99 | p.1 Under this enhancement request I see pages prior to renumbering as also always displaying in the same form for consistency. Here is another example, with each page after the first using renumbering and a different format each time: Current ProposedAlt.A Alt.B --- - - Page 1 / 99Page 1 / 99 (1) p.1 | Page 1 / 99 Page 1 / 99 | p.1 Page A 2 / 99 Page 2 / 99 (A) p.A | Page 2 / 99 Page 2 / 99 | p.A Page a 3 / 99 Page 3 / 99 (a) p.a | Page 3 / 99 Page 3 / 99 | p.a Page i 4 / 99 Page 4 / 99 (i) p.i | Page 4 / 99 Page 4 / 99 | p.i Automatically inserted pages (e.g., a left filler page prior to a page using the Right Page page style) are not selectable and so no details of these pages can be displayed in the status bar. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

I am not clear on what this means. All pages have a page number (the format of which is set on the Page tab when editing the page style). This meant that you can go to a page which is in Page b / c format, example 'Page 4 / 302', and then the following page is in Page a b / c format, example 'Page 1 5 / 302'. So to me 'Page 4 / 302' doesnt have a page number according to the printed page numbers on the page. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80617 Owen Genat owen.ge...@gmail.com changed: What|Removed |Added Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #1 from Owen Genat owen.ge...@gmail.com --- (In reply to comment #0) As the actual page's page number is an optional thing to be displayed, i think the better means of displaying the actual page's number is after and not before and to always show it, even if its equal to the numbered page number. e.g. 'Page 5 / 302 ( 1 )', 'Page 5 / 302 ( v )'. I also think a tooltip would be quite useful to explain this. There needs to be some way of visually discriminating between the two and this would seem one method. Word keeps details relating to the current page together, which I feel makes more sense. LO could use p. iv | Page 4 / 302 and then p. 1 | Page 5 / 302. Confirmed. Status set to NEW. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
