Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 52868
External data-dialog is cruelly
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:12:27 UTC
Open dialog to create an external link via 'Insert'-'Link to external data' is misleading. If you enter an URL you have to press ENTER (no information about it); if not, you will wait for enabling the OK-button by the programm. But this will never happen... Great design. Good example for an UI-Bug or missing documentation inside the form. Please change the dialog for this. Thx., Frank
Hi Daniel, your construction site ? Frank
This sounds like it needs UI changes or something. Needs some specification first. Anyway, effort may be too high for 2.0.1.
FT->FMA: I agree, it is a well known issue and the solution on external data was comprmised to a minimum. Nevertheless we ain an a complete new design than incoporates ALL external data (not only HTML) in one dialog/wizard. Given the very tight timeframes for PP1 and PP2 there will be no time to make another Ui change (which includes also a change in documentation).
FT: I'm leaving, so I will re-assign thbis issue to you. If zou still consider this issue crucial please be so kind and write a spec and submit it, thx.
Hi Oliver, pls. take over. Thx. Frank
Any news?
