Description Mike Kaganski 2017-12-26 03:03:17 UTC
Throughout LibreOffice, changing several options requires restart to take effect. This includes OpenGL/OpenCL use, UI language, and extension installation, among other.

When some of them changes, warnings about restart required are emitted to user; however, the warnings are different for different settings:

* For OpenCL, a dialog with "Please restart LibreOfficeDev now so the new or modified values can take effect." and single OK button is shown, which simply informs about the necessary action, and relies on user doing it at a later time.
* For UI language, OpenGL, and installation of extensions, a "Restart LibreOffice" dialog with "For the <feature name here> to take effect, LibreOffice must be restarted. Do you want to restart LibreOffice now?" and two buttons, "Restart Now" and "Restart Later", is shown, which allows to initiate the restart immediately, or do it manually at a later stage.

The proposal is to unify the OpenCL restart warning (and others using similar warnings) with the one used for UI language etc.
