            Bug ID: 130706
           Summary: Drying Ink Feature
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.6.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
I have been working on a large document for a while. So the text contains
portions that are older, some less old, some rather new and some that I wrote
in the very session I am currently in. 

I sometimes wish to know when I wrote a specific portion of the text. Reasons
for this can be: I want to find out what I was thinking at the time, what
happened in my environment, I may want to know if a certain portion of the text
has changed many times because I cannot seem to find the right words, I may
want to know if I have to review a thing that I have not reviewed in a long
time, etc. 

Now, it would really help if I could know simply by looking at the text, like
it used to be with drying ink on a piece of paper or parchment. For instance,
older letters could fade into a brighter shade of grey and if you hover over
the portions of text, a popup window could tell you the date and time when you
wrote the letters. 

That would be really neat. I have not found any word processor so far that
could do that automatically. So far I have been working with the compare
function and with several versions of the same document, but this process is
very cumbersome. I give away that idea. I think I cannot be the only one who
thought of that. I would be grateful for any hints how I could get a feature
like that.
