Description: The recovery dialog is a bit convoluted. Users should not have to "finish" (what does that even mean?) the recovery dialog in cases where only a single file is recovered. see other fields for details Steps to Reproduce: 1. user is asked to Recover or Cancle 2. select "Recover" Actual Results: disclaimer: this concerns only the case where a single file has been recovered. user is presented with dialog shown in screenshot. dialog suggests that one file was successfully recovered. user is super happy. but... Expected Results: ... why does the user have to click on "finish" in order to actually proceed? what value is gained in that step? I suggest the following more sane workflow: 1. if the file is successfully recovered → open the damn file (: done 2. if the file cannot be recovered, show a dialog and explain why and what happened. Makes sense? Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
Seems like a good idea -> NEW
This looks like a relatively easy issue to work on for a newbie developer. Has no effect anywhere other than in the dialog, and one doesn't even have to introduce new functionality, just play with dialog logic. Adding needDevEval
*** Bug 153168 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Duplicate bug 153168 argues for entire removal of that step. The use of it is that it reports success or failure of recovery of document, but as the OP argues, a message could be shown _only_ to report on failures if they exist. Adding Hossein for the NeedsDevEval keyword.
This issue should be fixed by Justin Luth for 24.2: https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/6444f5e2c5c8b3d1fac12755af09339083c74055 tdf#145606 autorecover: skip "Finish" button if all recovered OK. Justin, I'll let you confirm that and mark as "resolved - fixed" :)
