--- Comment #7 from Joao S. O. Bueno <gwid...@gmail.com> --- I think this is a long overdue feature. The non-existense of an "apply" button in several dialogs including, but not limitted,IMHO severely impacts LibreOffice's usage. Think of it this way: without an apply button for things like char or paragraph formatting, require that one -makes his changes in a dialog, which can e several, - hit OK - check the results, often having to hit "undo" and "redo" to see "before" and "after" - If it is not ok, go all the ay to the same formatting dialog again (which can be as far as 5-6 clicks away with menu navigation), - remembers the changes previously done - tweak the parameters - start over with "hit ok". Applications often do feature a whole code path for a "preview" feature just that the awkward process described above is not needed. See GIMP's filters, for example. GNOME itself thought of this "user right to immediately see the changes" so important that at one point the "apply" button was removed, and any changes in a formatting/options dialog is instantaneously reflected on the results. This is just great - sometimes it gets in the way, so I don think it as as important as having an explicit apply button, but it is usually better than having one. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
