[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 146380] (Enhancement) Add Single, Double, etc. Page View to the View Menu, so it is easier to Hide Whitespace, and stop automatically reverting documents to Auto.
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146380 --- Comment #15 from MarjaE --- When I change the settings, LibreOffice doesn't note that the document has been edited. So it lacks an important clue that these are savable document-by-document settings instead of LibreOffice preferences. I still think some or all of the interface changes in comment 11 would make it easier to find and apply these settings. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

This is per-document setting. So when you create a document, and set it to two-page view, and save it, this document will open two-page next time, both for you, and for other people. But other documents, having a different layout setting, will use their own setting. Thus, if you had created lots of documents in two-page layout, all they will have that setting individually. When used *normally*, this feature allows you to have some documents in book view, some in single page view, and that would be defined by your preference for them. You may have different kinds of documents, with multiple page sizes, orientations, some for reading/reference, some for day-to-day editing ... and using same layout for all is not OK. But of course, if the feature was used incorrectly - e.g., when you've set it without clear understanding, then created tens of documents, and now want all of them to look single-page, you might feel like "give me an option to undo my previous mistake for all at once". Still, that is not a use case that needs such an option - it's a user mistake. Note also, that if you created a template with such a setting, new documents created from that template will all have that setting applied. Hope that helps. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146380 --- Comment #11 from MarjaE --- 1. I don't understand the logic of reverting Show Whitespace, View Layout, and Zoom every time people open a file. I think a persistent user preference would be appropriate. 2. I suggest either adding all the options to the View menu itself, or renaming "Zoom..." to "Zoom and View Layout." 3. I suggest adding the Show Whitespace option to that dialogue. 4. I suggest highlighting the current View Layout in the lower right corner, so people can see what layout they have, since depending on screen size and zoom, there may not be any other indication. 5. I suggest adding the Show Whitespace option there. 6. I don't know if this would cause anyone trouble, but I wonder if it would help if unchecking Show Whitespace automatically chanced the View Layout to Single. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

You are telling puzzles. What's hidden where? Indeed, the menu 'View->Zoom->Zoom...' opens a dialog, as indicated in comment 8. Are you talking about that? > It keeps reverting. What keeps reverting, and at which moment? When you set the setting, and press OK? Or when you close a document and open another? (Which would be OK, since this option is saved per document, and when you have that setting already saved in a document to multi-page view, it must open that way.) > So I have to go into this hidden dialogue every time I open every Writer > document. This seems to confirm my idea that "it reverts" for other documents. > If there is an option under Preferences, I can't find it, because I can't > enlarge the "perfectly readable" text in that interface to read it. Which option you are talking about? We already discussed the option in the View menu. And what "I can't find it, because I can't enlarge the "perfectly readable" text in that interface to read it" might mean? Generally, you seem to fight with the interface, and try to find answers here; but this is not a user support resource - this is a bug tracking site, where issues need to be described clearly, with steps to reproduce, screenshots, problematic documents, etc. - not to help user to workaround or to learn, but to reproduce the issue, confirm it, and then hopefully fix. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
