Description libreoffice241 2018-01-29 05:58:31 UTC
Description:
Allow option to Save (or re-save) file to location AND create/update a Short-Cut on the Desktop (or possibly a short-cut in a folder on the desktop).
When option is selected, allow user to choose where the shortcut is created/updated when the file is SAVEd/UPDATED.

Actual Results:  
suggestion for new feature


Expected Results:
better user experience.  UNLESS very few users think they would use this feature.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
A simple solution:  Have only a SELECTION box on the 'SAVE AS' screen to the DeskTop ONLY (no choice about where or a folder).

A more useful (and complicated) solution is allow user to choose where the short-cut should be created/updated.  

An ERROR routine for when the short-cut can not be found (create Short-Cut option is selected) during an update/re-save of the working file.

This sounds very, very marginal, so I won't even consult the UX team before closing this.
Perhaps you could achieve this through some Windows script that monitors a folder and creates the shortcuts.
