<pre>hi,
I think I'm aware how complex Writer and its menus already are...
and how problematic it could be to even TOUCH any pert of it :)
but.. it can't hurt to think about it :)
a new menu item, DOCUMENT seems as a logical next step...
(I hope it's not a past step, I mean, I hope that a menu item like that has not
been dropped during the evolution of LO Writer)
because there are actions (functionalities) which handle the document as a
whole... I mean, not character, not paragraph, not section, but DOCUMENT :)
- - -
in that "master document" related menu items could be placed...
as well as OUTLINE-related ones...
and from TOOLS, "chapter numbering" could also come here...
also, from FILE, "export" and "export as", and most parts of "send", too, could
come..
//-- in any case, I'm sure you knew what I meant the moment you read "new menu
item"... :) :) cause, I'm sure, this is something you're all the time giving
thoughts during any step of development --//
- - -
as ONE huge step of the LEAP I just referred to above could be
a new SUB-menu item, under FILE, named: OUTLINE...
"Outline" could swallow "send outline to ..." and "create abstract" from
"send"...
and, optionally, also chapter numbering, from under TOOLS...
with footnotes / endnotes and line numbering....
and for these, for some time, like a year... DUMMY menu items could be left
there..
with an option in OPTIONS to show or hide dummy menu items :) :)
(which, when set to "hide", could be sent back to the dev HQ,
giving a pretty good picture on how much the users have adopted it, or need it
still..)
- - -
PS:
properties can "also" go under DOCUMENT...
and track changes, too...
and navigator and styles also could have their entries there...
bibliography database
and
word count likewise...
OKAY, sorry! :)
this is an iceberg, doubtlessly!
but it might be able to think about it, which I don't assume you don't (!),
but wanted to contribute to it...
and allowing others to do so too...
- - - thank you for developing LO Writer - - -</pre>
