Bug ID: 123318
Summary: Problems with new help's "Search in chosen module"
function
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.2.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Documentation
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: mikekagan...@hotmail.com
CC: olivier.hal...@documentfoundation.org
Since 6.2 released, opening generic https://help.libreoffice.org opens a page
in Writer module [1], which has "Search in chosen module" active. That makes
that generic address not suitable to search in other modules without explicit
switch.
On the other hand, opening help from LibreOffice (using F1) brings another page
[2], that seems to belong to Common Help Topics (since it has "Search in all
modules" active, and its path is .../text/shared/...), but is shown as if it's
a Calc page (in Contents, it's expanded under "Spreadsheets (Calc)").
The online help also doesn't have an easy way to switch to "Common" "module"
like it's possible to switch to e.g. Writer (one would have to expand several
levels in Contents to go to some common topic), or otherwise switch from
"Search in chosen module" to "Search in all modules".
The proposals are:
1. Make [2] the default page for https://help.libreoffice.org;
2. Make necessary corrections to its metadata to move it to common topics in
Contents;
3. Add an easy way to switch between "Search in chosen module" and "Search in
all modules".
