--- 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 Proposed Alt.A Alt.B ------- -------- ----- ----- "Page 1 / 99" "Page 1 / 99 (1)" "p.1 | Page 1 / 99" "Page 1 / 99 | p.1" "Page 2 / 99" "Page 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 Proposed Alt.A Alt.B ------- -------- ----- ----- "Page 1 / 99" "Page 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.
