This is a current thought of mine.
- For 3.2, apply the patch attached in this issue and go on.
- For OOo later, consider issue 104143 to eliminate further confusions.
What do you think, bluedwarf?
IMHO, users might overestimate an outcome of this issue. They might think that
reversing the positions of first and last name fields in the dialog of Tools -
Options - %PRODUCTNAME - User Data will solve everything related to the order
of first and last names.
In reality, nothing will be solved except the one in the Tools - Options.
There are many possible locations a user name will be used.
E.g Author, Modified-by, and Printed-by in the File - Properties,
Commenter of Insert - Notes,
Editor in the Edit - Changes,
Who-save in the File - Versions, ...
Author displayed as one of meta data in Windows Explorer,
Adobe Reader, Microsoft Office, ...
Most of them come from one of the properties stored in DoucumentInfo
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/document/DocumentInfo.html
and/or XDocumentProperties
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/document/XDocumentProperties.html
The property 'Author' is just a single string. So why do we need to input
first, last, given, family, father, mother, middle, etc. names separately?
Supporting all possible types of name fields depending on a target culture
determined by a type of user interface language would be one of the solutions
like this issue.
Meanwhile, Putting them into a single text field regardless of the target
culture would be also one of the solutions.
The latter is the issue 104143.
