<pre>Description:
(I filed this on "Ask LibreOffice", they sent me here.
This is somewhere between a bug and a feature fix/request. I use Navigator for
books and other long documents I am working on. It would be great help if the
Navigator settings were document-specific.
1) Open/Closed Constancy.
If I open Navigator for a file in Writer, every document I open thereafter -
Calc, Slide Show, whatever - has Navigator open, and I have to stop and close
it to open up window space, to see what I'm doing. And vice versa, for
documents where I want it open, it will default to the previous document's
settings. It would be great if my open/closed preferences were saved with each
document.
And for a new, empty document, I can't see that there is any reason for
Navigator to be open.
2) Drop-Down Constancy.
Much more problematic, when I close a document where I was using Navigator,
when I reopen it, all of my outline is collapsed back to the minimal. I have to
go through the outline opening it back up, in order to be able to see my
headings, and navigate around the document. That may sound trivial, but I
typically work on several long documents at once. Often, I simply want to add a
single insight or an article citation and then close the document. But on
something as long as a book, I may need to open 20 or more chapter headings,
and many more subheadings and even sub-subeadings in order to find my place,
and to figure out where I want the information to go. It is particularly
frustrating.
In effect, I would like Navigator to be better at helping me navigate. Thanks.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a document.
2. Open or close Navigator.
3. Open another document.
Actual Results:
I was irritated.
Navigator settings are global, instead of document-specific.
Expected Results:
I was not irritated.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
See the description above.</pre>
