I add some more information about usability. Another problem having to see with this one and that occurred today to a user: 1. she created the chart within an existing ods 2. she then saved while the chart was selected. 3. As discussed, LibreOffice asks to save (as odc). 4. She sees the "odc" thing then changes it manually to "ods" so that the underlying calc spreadsheet be saved 5. She confirms the replacement message ("of course I want to update my ods!") 6. The save process completes and she closes the document. -> When opening it back, surprise! It's the odc (made-up to ods by herself unknowingly) which appears. The original ods is gone and unrecoverable: the .bak in the backup directory is also the made-up odc. Clearly, to me, to the data loss possibility, there's a usability problem here. Most people don't know anything about what an odc is. They think they did something wrong then want to correct manually, thus defeating the software original intend. I think some kind of *very* clear message should be displayed in this situation so that the user can realize what is at stake.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
