Or view options and calculation options. This is a problem of wording/terminology IMO. Let me try to explain the differences as I see, and let Eyal and Eike correct me if I misunderstood. What Eyal claims is: Options dialog should not contain/set *properties* of anything in the currently open document (model). What Eike claims is: it's OK for Options dialog to contain options that may affect currently open document behavior (e.g., display of something, or even calculation results). When talking about default locale, Eike talks about an application-wide setting that defines for a *local application instance* what to do when some property is *not specified in the document*. This is not a property of the document, and as such, it is OK to both have such setting in Options (or other application-scope dialogs), *and* affect currently open documents. This does not contradict the Eyal's idea. I support a vision that each and every option that is be stored in the document, should be removed from the Options dialog; and wherever it gets finally landed, it may get a "make default" button, to allow *also* to store this piece of settings into the profile as a default value for newly created documents. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
