            Bug ID: 122940
           Summary: Allow per-document Macro Security settings
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jim.avera at gmail.com

Description:
It would be great if the "Enable Macros?" dialog allowed an option of "Don't
ask again for this document".

The answer (yes or no) would be stored in the user's profile, linked to the
path or URI of the document.  Optionally, also provide a "Don't ask again for
this version of this document" option which also stores a cryptographic
checksum.

Options->Security->Macro Security would have a button to "forget per-document
security settings" (probably any change to the global settings should
implicitly forget the saved settings as well).

Motivation: Currently it is annoying to have to enable macros every time a
known document is opened.  Of course, the user can set Macro Security to "Low"
to trust every document unconditionally, but that is too dangerous.

In fact, if per-document settings are implemented, the "trust all documents
without asking" option should IMO be eliminated.  It is simply never good
practice to do that.
