Description Edmund Laugasson 2018-10-07 22:32:29 UTC
Description:
When trying to add the PDF, ePUB button to toolbar that gives a dialog box before exporting then both buttons in settings have same name and that is misleading. Currently only experimenting gives the answer which button does what and it takes too much time and is very bothering.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View->Toolbars->Customize
2. choose Standard toolbar which is chosen by default
3. open category "Documents"
4. scroll a bit down and there are two buttons with same name in both cases: either PDF or EPUB

Actual Results:
Impossible to distinguish between buttons: direct action or settings+action. It violates the default policy where 3 dots in name mean the dialog window with optin to change settings and also cancel the activity.

Expected Results:
Possible to understand which button does what. Expectations are explained in "Additional information" section together with additional explanation.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
E.g. in case of printing there are buttons "Print" and "Print Directly" - obviously the last one does it directly but first one gives an option to change settings before printing. In fact would expect here also the 3 dots as it is a common tradition to have 3 dots with choices that allow settings and do not act immediately like choices without 3 dots. Hopefully can you fix that as well (Print -> Print...) - will not file a new bug in case of print button.

Would expect the following names:
- PDF...  (callout text: Export to PDF...)
- PDF directly (callout text: Export to PDF directly)
------------------------
- EPUB... (callout text: Export to EPUB...)
- EPUB directly (callout text: Export to EPUB directly)

Resetting user profile does not help here.
This applies to all LibreOffice modules in all platforms where is possible to export to PDF, EPUB. Did not check but there might be similar identities in button names.

Essentially the issues of bug 117528 but that is set dupe of the general case.

Other "Additional info" here looks to already be implemented with the ellipsis from the "Export As" menu in current master/6.2.0

Sounds nice - waiting 6.2.x...

EPUB choices, no difference

To be precise, I made screenshots of the toolbar customization dialog - expecting also there to see difference, which currently does not exist.

Yes that is correct. The issue is the labeling passed for use in the Customization dialog. The EPub and PDF labels are generic.

The commands are:

.uno:ExportToEPUB (which opens the dialog and receives the ellipsis);
.uno:ExportDirectlyToEPUB (which directly exports to EPUB with defaults).

Similar pair of UNO controls for the Export to PDF .uno:ExportToPDF and .uno:ExportDirectToPDF
