Hello. I haven't used bugzilla before so sorry if I'm not doing this in the conventional way. I just posted a question on the libreoffice forum and was advised to post a request here. Here's what I said on the forum: -------------------- I moved over completely to Linux about 2 months ago and switched all the office documents over to Libre Office ODT and ODS formats (a huge job - lots of mail merge documents to rebuild from scratch). Everything is working great but one thing I miss that I had with word was a sound that plays every time I hit ctrl + s. I've looked through the LO options but haven't found a setting to enable. -------------------- If this is not possible in Libreoffice is it something you would consider implementing? Many thanks.
The word option was called: "Provide feedback with sound" I found it a useful verification that the file had actually saved. I find in LO that I have to do a visual check instead of continuing to type.
Could you please add a bit background on the request. I mean, while saving you cannot interact with the program anyway, see bug 131283. Do you bake a cake and want the computer to ping you when saving is ready? :-)
That's very constructive.

(In reply to neil from comment #3) > That's very constructive. Sorry if you read my English as offensive, tried to be funny. The question was serious however. We need to balance the benefit for a few against configuration burden for many (and the effort to implement). Keep it simple is always a good advice. Without a reasonable use case your request is just your personal wish.
Sorry. I think I did take your meaning the wrong way. I actually wondered if I was doing the right thing posting about this on here, as it is not a bug in any way. I was advised to post the request to bugzilla and being inexperienced with Linux, libreoffice, and bugzilla I went ahead. I was posting a feature request so if it shouldn't be here and should be deleted I agree with this being done. Where should I put feature requests?

You did perfectly right (next to Important is a dropdown where "enhancement" indicates the request). But we don't implement all ideas from users as there are many every day. So I ask for details, why, where, what, how etc. to learn more what users exactly need. So far me don't see _need_ for a jingle.

Mike, Ok, thanks for explaining. it was definitely just a feature request, not a bug, and I can live without it. Are you one of the guys that write Libreoffice? I like it. I never thought I could move from word but I've found it easy to learn libre office and there has been no disadvantage. It's good to get away from another huge corporation !!
(In reply to neil from comment #9) > I can live without Great, so let's resolve the request as WF. You input is always welcome, even when a request is rejected.
I am guessing WF means something like - not required? If so, that's absolutely fine. Can you tell me if I could build a macro to do this. Know anywhere I could look online?
WF means WONT FIX, meaning is a NO for the moment.
(In reply to neil from comment #11) > Can you tell me if I could build a macro to do this. With pleasure. Took this as example https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=57699# Sub Main oSounMgr = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.comp.media.Manager_GStreamer") If NOT IsNull(oSounMgr) Then oSfa = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.ucb.SimpleFileAccess") sBaseURL = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.util.PathSubstitution")._ substituteVariables("$(inst)/share/gallery/sounds", True) sSound1 = sBaseURL & "/ok.wav" If oSfa.exists(sSound1) Then oPlayer1 = oSounMgr.createPlayer(sSound1) oPlayer1.setPlaybackLoop(False) oPlayer1.start() while oPlayer1.isplaying() doevents wend End If End If End Sub Use Tools > Customize > Events to bind save to this macro. (In reply to neil from comment #11) > Know anywhere I could look online? We have some guides for macros [1], some more information [2], and formed a help team recently [3].
