            Bug ID: 129706
           Summary: WRITER -- send outline to document // + export outline
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jepe at cspv.hu

Description:
I was just doing some image editing with GIMP, 
and I would export the image multiple times, after some further and even
further elaboration...
and I realized that this would be so COOL to have in LibreOffic WRITER, too...

first of all, it would be great to have a feature to EXPORT OUTLINE to a
document...

this would make the "send / outline" menu like this:

send / 
outline to clipboard 
outline to document
outline to presentation 


NEXT level:
once we have this,  
the application could remember where we exported "SENT" the thing...
the outline...
I mean, to which document...

(like GIMP remembers the exported image file, "target.png")


and the next time, one of the options at export would be to overwrite 
the previously exported document...

which might be tricky as I imagine, cause that outline document will be very
probably open... and what's daily routine for a text editor, like Geany,
to notice that the file has changed, and offer a reload or save as option...
could be difficult for a complex word processor like Writer... 

BUT... an automatic "update" "refresh" is not unimaginable, as I imagine it :)



anyhow:

now the send menu would be like:

send / 

outline to clipboard
outline to XXX.odt
outline to document
outline to presentation

 - - - - -

NEXT level:

exporting the outline could be moved from "send"
to an export menu...

like "export outline"
under "Export" and "Export as"...



Steps to Reproduce:
1. export the outline to a document
2. go send to clipboard, and paste it into a document
3. export it again

Actual Results:
you have to repeat send / outline to clipboard / paste it into document

Expected Results:
at first export:

click (select) "send / outline to document"
create a new document "this_outline.odt"
click okay

next time:
click (select) "send / outline to "this_outline.odt"
and although it is open, it would be updated


just click send outline to 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
