[Bug 161078] Allow direct formatting for page sequences instead of editing the style
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161078 --- Comment #2 from Mike Kaganski --- (In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #0) > If you were to say "such a modification is no longer, in fact, the original > style; and should have its own style name" - that is a legitimate view, but > only if you also apply it to character, paragraph, list styles etc. No. It is legitimate as long as there is no "page as a primary object" in Writer (which is the case), unlike characters, paragraphs, and other primary objects, that need *some* place, and by that, initiate *automatic* creation of pages, which uses properties of respective paragraphs (primary objects). The *logic* (this is *not* an implementation detail, but the underlying idea, defining the implementation) makes it a feature, that there is no direct formatting of pages. And no need for that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, unlike paragraphs, characters, and frames, pages can not have directly applied properties. If you change the properties of a page, you are actually changing the underlying page style, so those changes are applied to all pages that use that page style. To change the properties of individual pages, you need to create a new page style. Headers and footers can be specified in one style to be different on left or right pages or first pages." So we directly format when we apply a page style other than what the current Page 'Organizer' tab "Next style", or a Paragraph 'Text Flow' tab "Breaks" defines. It is just a question of the how applied attributes of a page are grouped together and manipulated during document editing/layout and on export to ODF. In the UI, we can fully modify a page style from the Page Style... dialog or partially from the Page deck's content panels of the Sidebar. So we can manually force insert a page break onto a page with a different style. And that may be an existing page style, or have made a modification of an existing page style into a new page style that reflows the page--orientation, margin, layout, etc. attributes as found fully on the tabs of the Page style dialog. Noting the Sidebar Page deck omits some of the attributes. Absent Page style inheritance, bug 41316, each Page style requires its own style and only a defined "own style" [3] has meaning to be able to reuse from list box or the F11 Stylist in current document or as saved to template document. =-ref-= [1] https://documentation.libreoffice.org/en/english-documentation/ Writer Guide 24.2 [2] Byfield's Designing With LibreOffice treats page styles well.

[Bug 161075] Rename "Page Style..." to "Page..." on the Format menu
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161075 --- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote --- -1 This would be a reversal of what was done for see also bug 126008 [1] where we renamed the Format -> "Page..." to Format -> "Page Style..." for adjusting the style of page holding current paragraph--also repositioned it on the menu removing it from the other DF dialogs. IMHO no reason to revert, or UX confusion of bug 126008 returns.

[Bug 161031] Form creating is too niche to merit a main menu item visible by default
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161031 --- Comment #4 from Eyal Rozenberg --- (In reply to jan d from comment #3) > I also assume that "Form" is rarely used. Well... rare for most users, but frequent for some users. And the same goes, I suppose, for some other features on our menus. > Does it make sense to create a conditional logic for its activation at the > top level or is it better to group it into another menu (e.g. insert)? I'm not 100% sure. I would want people who actually use the menu to chime in. It might, because: 1. It's not a small menu, and has some submenus as well. creating a very large submenu of Insert, with a third-level menu, seems rather unwieldy. 2. The original designers of the menu wanted it to exist, and found it useful. I don't know that their considerations are invalid (and would like to understand what they were, a questio you've also brought) . > Conditional logic seems tricky to test and maintain. Is it, though? There are lots of menu items whose state has conditional aspects, like being toggled or not, grayed out or not... why not also the aspect of being visible or not. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
