Description: V 5.22 introduced te template manager with a control for choosing a 'Filter'. The dropdown reads: All Applications Documents Spreadsheets Presentations Drawings This is obviously inconsistent. One way to fix the issue might be: All Applications Writer Calc Impress Draw Anotherone: All Document Types Text Documents Spredsheet Documents Presentations Drawings Lacking mention of Math and Base should be acceptable despite the "all" as there are no templates insofar. Steps to Reproduce: -/- Actual Results: -/- Expected Results: -/- Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: (Older versions had similar issues, but the 'Filter' control only exists in V5.2.0 and higher.)
We applied the schema <document type> (module) somewhere else recently (bug 118330). So my take would be All Document Types Text Documents (Writer) Spreadsheets (Calc) Presentations (Impress) Drawings (Draw) OTOH, the only unclear term here is Documents and we could simply add "Text" before it. Keep in mind that long text expands a dropdown (like for All Categories). And we should also keep the localization team free of unnecessary work.
Removing needsUX, changing labels is an easyhack

All Applications Text Documents (.ott) Spreadsheets (.ots) Presentations (.otp) Drawings (.otg) Pro: makes clear what "criterion" is used in filter Con: looks ugly Maybe this form is cleaner -- and some (most?) users will/can ignore the first part of the line, while others might find the .ot* to be useful. All Applications .ott - Text Documents .ots - Spreadsheets .otp - Presentations .otg - Drawings
