Description: Add a File menu item to Calc (and all apps) called 'Save and Close'. This would save a step every time one closes a file, as currently it is a 2 step process, IE 'Save' then 'Close'. Actual Results: Will save and close in one step. Expected Results: Will save and close in one step. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:
You can press Close button and LibreOffice will ask you itself if file need to save and then closes file. WONTFIX
Hi Roman. Thank you for your prompt attention to this. Yes, I am well aware of the current process via 1/User:”Close”, 2/Libra:”Save?”, 3/User:”Save”, 4/Libra:(Save), 5/Libra:(Close). This is a five step process, IE two by the user and three by Libra. My suggestion is that the interface process would be enhanced by adding a File Menu option to make this a three step process, IE 1/User:”Save and Close”, 2/Libra:(Save), Libra:(Close). To be clear, I was not having a problem using Calc. I am instead offering a suggestion that would make Calc, and all other similar File based apps, one tiny bit better. Of course, this may not be practical for Libra to enact, due to any number of reasons. Unfortunate, but life is not always what we want.
Heiko, what do you think?
Would also prefer to not add another command to keep the UI clean, which could be done by not adding the menu entry but another UNO command and the option to customize the menu. But then we should keep the API clean as well and Save+Close is not that common.
Hi Hieko I’ve replied to the notification email, but here it is again, for the record. I agree with you regarding keeping the UI ‘clean’. And also about the possibility of providing an option to customise the menu, provided it is simple enough for us non-techies to implement. I beg to differ however on your comment that “Save+Close is not that common”. Every day, at the end of their work sessions, millions of people around the world Save+Close. Unfortunately though, they are unable to do so with a single command. Regards // Dominic
