The change was intended; quoting from my own commit message: > <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed" title="RESOLVED FIXED - PRINTING: Behaviour of Writer Print Options are not Transparent" href="show_bug.cgi?id=47583">tdf#47583</a> sw: Don't mix doc print settings into option dialog > > Show and manage the default Writer print options in the "Tools" -> > "Options" -> "LibreOfficeDev Writer" -> "Print" dialog and don't > mix in the document-specific values of the currently opened > document, as this is rather confusing as described in <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed" title="RESOLVED FIXED - PRINTING: Behaviour of Writer Print Options are not Transparent" href="show_bug.cgi?id=47583">tdf#47583</a>. > > There is a separate dialog to manage the settings for the currently > opened document available via "File" -> "Printer Settings" -> "Options". > > At a quick glance, this also matches the behaviour for Calc, which > doesn't mix in the current doc's settings either. > > This handles the case for the Writer-specific print options. > For a more general approach on whether and how document-specific > options should be handled in the "Tools" -> "Options" dialog at all, > there are already <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - Intransparent Use of Options" href="show_bug.cgi?id=43786">tdf#43786</a> ("Intransparent Use of Options") and > <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - Separate document saved options from global options in Options dialog" href="show_bug.cgi?id=105751">tdf#105751</a> ("Separate document saved options from global options in > Options dialog"). > > Side note: The previous implementation also wasn't synchronizing the > settings both ways. Changes made in the "File" -> "Printer Settings" -> > "Options" dialog did show up in the "Tools" -> "Options" -> > "LibreOfficeDev Writer" -> "Print" dialog at once, but not the other > way around. The setting in "Tools" -> "Options" defines the default value to use for *new* documents, while the one in "File" -> "Printer Settings" handles that of the current document, i.e. changing the one in "Tools" -> "Options" will only take effect when creating a new document. See <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed" title="RESOLVED FIXED - PRINTING: Behaviour of Writer Print Options are not Transparent" href="show_bug.cgi?id=47583">tdf#47583</a> for more background which describes how the previous behavior was even more confusing. Inserting a corresponding heading/tag as suggested in the proposal from <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed" title="RESOLVED FIXED - PRINTING: Behaviour of Writer Print Options are not Transparent" href="show_bug.cgi?id=47583#c0">tdf#47583 comment 0</a> would probably help to make this clearer: > Proposal in order to make the behaviour more transparent: > Insert a heading to the option category 'LibreOffice Writer > Print': "Initial Print Options of new Documents". And of course print options of current documents should not longer displayed in the general options dialog. IMHO, if changed, that should be handled consistently with other places as well, s. my <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed" title="RESOLVED FIXED - PRINTING: Behaviour of Writer Print Options are not Transparent" href="show_bug.cgi?id=47583#c14">tdf#47583 comment 14</a>: > I'm looking into the second aspect mentioned here (not displaying document-specific settings in "Tools" -> "Options"; Calc also doesn't do this). > I suggest to then handle the "remainder" (i.e. proper labels/headings) in <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - Use of Print Options is not Transparent" href="show_bug.cgi?id=118262">bug 118262</a>, where this is also already mentioned. <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - Use of Print Options is not Transparent" href="show_bug.cgi?id=118262">tdf#118262</a> mentions more areas where the current handling of general/file-specific options is not ideal. Given that, I'd suggest that this is not a regression but a "Works For Me" (but I agree that it may be confusing, s. above comments with further details and existing ideas/tickets to improve this further).</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
