Description Wll|G]W$Ch'V<SeRrJ&`xN!NfY47?L 2020-02-14 14:10:17 UTC 
Description:
I have tried to add a paper size (A0) to Writer. Only to figure out that they are hardcoded in C++.

I fell like it is mad do hardcode sizes into C++. Could you, please, store paper sizes in configs, and provide GUI to add and edit them?



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to page properties


Actual Results:
You are unable to add a paper size preset.

Expected Results:
You should be able to add a paper size presets via GUI.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Thank you for the suggestion. 

I have reduced the bug's severity to "enhancement."
Comment 3 Heiko Tietze 2020-05-11 14:35:36 UTC 
Why do you need to edit a predefined variable? I mean you can enter any value at the page format and A0 is just a standard. Anyway, the request has been made before so this is a duplicate.
