Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 19690
Clearly identify the Writer UI from HTML UI,so user will not confuse&make mistake
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Problem: Writer and Writer-HTML currently share quite the same UI (dialogs, toolbars, etc). Thus the Writer-HTML UI provides the user with a lot of functions which HTML (any version) does not support. This is "a trap" for the user and sometimes causes in the end data losses which are not bugs but the result of a "promising" UI and a lack of appropriate (or just *existing*) warning messages when inserting or apply non-HTML objects or formattings (cropped graphics, table border styles, etc) Proposal: - Create a new HTML (Writer/Web) module with its own UI. OR - keep the current Writer/Web UI but disable or hide every Writer specific functions from it.
If I had any votes left, I'd vote for this. I just got caught in this trap yesterday. It took two hours to find the error. Not a good thing for users.
I also feel similiar things. Maybe some other things also possible to make the identification of Writer and html editor didnt confuse people 1. In the Left top, it only showing general name: openoffice.org, if we can have openoffice.org writer, openoffice.org html editor, openoffice.org calc, ETC. it will help little bit 2. Another things, which is considered as enhancements is adding tab: normal, preview and html at the bottom of the HTML editor. If you have another proposal/idea please share it here.

utomo99: please don't change targets without consoidering the possible effort needed to fix/implement a feature. Especially an enhancement/feature will very seldomly be part of a #.#.# version.
I do not think the issue raised in 18168 is sufficiently represented here. In 18168 I talk about having a normal Writer document, .sxw, and saving it as HTML document. Doesn't have anything to do with editing html documents. On saving everything is written to a new set of files, with consistent names and references. When the graphics files are written to their new names, they should be cropped as specified in the .sxw file. This is nessecary since html does not know the concept of cropping an image. A warning is not nessecary because this cropping is a simple operation that is expected by the user. Of cource, there may be features in the .sxw file that cannot be represented in a .html file [the drawing functions to name one (if we forget about .svg for the moment)] for which a warning is appropriate. Cropping an image to the size expected by the user is certanly not one of them.
utomo>eric: OK eric, I will not touch it, Joost already told me same things. But for this I think we can get easy and simple solution, by adding the application name in the top left Writer : openoffice.org writer, instead of only genaral name openoffice.org Calc : openoffice.org Calc, instead of only genaral name openoffice.org Impress : openoffice.org Impress, instead of only genaral name openoffice.org Html editor : openoffice.org html editor, instead of only genaral name openoffice.org Draw : openoffice.org Draw, instead of only genaral name openoffice.org If this is possible, I think we can have it at before 2.0. Please consider & thanks
The UI should adapt to the HTML Imp/Exp options chosen under Tools - Options - Load/Save - HTML compatibility. (See Issue 12294)

Issue 14536: not only dialogs should offer strict HTML functions but also the behavior of objects and texts (formatting, position, size etc...) in the document should be subject to those restrictions.

Hello Michael, do you see possibility for the 'Q' for optimization by keeping the current Writer/Web UI and disabling or hiding every Writer specific functions from it? Please give approval for this evaluated OO.o 2.0 flagged issue. If you confirm with the target OO.o 2.0, then please keep it on your owner (or the owner of the concerning developer) for implementation. In case you want this issue for 'OOo Later', then please reset the target milestone. If you decline the issue finally, please set the resolution to 'Wontfix' (but do not close). In case of 'OOo Later' or 'Wontfix' please reset it on Bettina's owner. Thank you.

Adopting the UI to exactly what HTML allows is a complex task that probably cannot be done for the OOo 2.0 release. Doing something for a later release might be reasonable, but it's to early to decide this.

set started for OO.o later.
