Priority: low
Bug ID: 80823
CC: glo...@fbihome.de
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: MAILMERGE: Use IDocumentMarkAccess::UNO_BOOKMARK to
mark end of one mail merge part
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: bjoern.michael...@canonical.com
Hardware: Other
Status: NEW
Version: 4.2.5.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
The mail merge wizard currently creates a merged document, even when the user
wants to save split files in the end. To know where to split the document, the
wizard remembers the start and end page of each part.
This is both slow and fragile:
- To get the page numbers right, the whole merged document is rerendered after
each part is inserted (issue i#72820 or commit 62ebbb006) again and again
- This is futile anyway as the wizard allow the merged document to be
"personalized", that is: edited. With that, page breaks might be introduced
that mess up the remembered page numbers.
It might be worth a try to use UNO_BOOKMARKs instead of page numbers to
remember the position:
- with that possibly the merged document only has to be rendered once, at the
end of the merge and not once per added document part, which should help
performance (quite a lot actually)
- UNO_BOOKMARKs should move along even as pages are inserted/removed. While not
perfect, they are certainly less fragile than hard page indices.
