------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Sep 8 02:13:37 +0000 2008 ------- Closing many files one by one in Writer is tedious. Please add a command to "Close All Except...". It should bring up a scrolling dialog listing all open files with a checkbox for each. By default, all checkboxes should start out already checkmarked. The user could uncheck any files that are not to be closed; there might be one or two. The dialog should default to a visual size nearly the height of the screen, since nothing behind likely needs to be seen, and with horizontal scrolling as a narrow width may conceal part of a long file name. The ordinary Close command could then be a special case of the Close All Except... command, in which only one file would be checkmarked and no dialog would appear. In Writer, the command should appear in the File menu just below the Close command. I haven't used the latest Microsoft offerings, but, while Close All may exist somewhere in other word processors, I think no one offers Close All Except..., which would increase users' power. As a bonus feature, the dialog should offer the user an option of showing paths; otherwise, by default, only filenames should appear. This would be useful when same-name files are in different directories. What inspired me was having to work with 50 files at once. Quitting and restarting Writer and reopening the one I still wanted open was probably faster than closing 50 individually. This expands on Issue 91364. I'm using OOo Writer 2.4.0 without Java Runtime Environment on Linux Fedora Core 4 with Gnome 2.10.0 desktop on a Pentium 4 laptop. I didn't see this feature.
