It has its logic, though. > Option 1: > We keep only the open document formats in Save/As and move everything else > into Export. This has been done for GIMP and it's very annoying (but clear > to understand). Please no D: The GIMP approach bites me in the face every time I use the damn thing. (Even though I understand the rationale.) > Option 2: > SaveAs holds open document formats and MSO. Meaning html, dbf, slk, csv / > rtf, txt / mml get moved into Export. Somewhat confusing in case of Calc > since CSV is as important as Excel. Or in case of html when Writer is used > as editor. Why only MSO? And where to even draw the line after that? E.g. RTF and (especially) CSV are used quite a lot, and presumably expected to be found from "normal" Save dialog. > Option 3: > We drop Export and keep everything under SaveAs.

Although for consistency, I think PDF should stay under Export also in Draw. Also, "lossy" as criterion might be problematic, as e.g. CSV is definitely "lossy" when it comes to formatting :) (Sure, there's a warning...) > Option 5: > Different menu options with Save As > Open Document | Microsoft Office > (another menu entry for other office suites)| Markup Languages (html, xml, > svg, mml, csv) | Raster Graphics. Not sure where to put epub and PDF, maybe > Markup, but we could drop this format since we have a dedicated command. Can all the save/export formats really fit under a single category? Also, it would probably take a user at least two attempts to find where e.g. CSV or RTF or XML is under such a structure (terms like "markup language" probably aren't understood by everyone). (In reply to Telesto from comment #17) > Original vision: 1 next 5 (based on MacOS Pages) > Directly saving new documents into DOCX/DOC is unadvised and people > shouldn't do that. This certainly doesn't work out to well. And having it > under Save As suggests kind of full compatibility. Well, there is a warning when saving as non-ODF... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise
