Description Bruce Armstrong 2020-06-04 08:55:38 UTC
Description:
While Exporting to HTML, the bottom ribbon only says that it is Saving, and then shows the percent converted to the right.  It should have a title that says it is Exporting HTML, so you know that it is exporting to HTML and not just doing an autosave of the odt.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Tell Writer to export a medium sized odt document to HTML.
2.Look at the bottom ribbon details.
3.

Actual Results:
The ribbon just says Saving, not Exporting HTML.

Expected Results:
Ribbon should say Exporting HTML.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
It works, but is somewhat confusing. Should be easy to fix, as when Exporting to PDF, the ribbon reads Exporting PDF.

Thanks for reporting this, Bruce Armstrong.

I can confirm that no additional details regarding the saving, in contrast to PDF exporting, are displayed to the user when I use:

Version: 6.4.4.2 (x64)
Build ID: 3d775be2011f3886db32dfd395a6a6d1ca2630ff
CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 17763; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: CL

I would consider this an enhancement, though, and so I will change the "importance" field to reflect it.

Bruce, I can't see that. Is it possible to add a screenshot, so it is more clear to me? Thanks.

Sorry, but I can't get my computer to save the screen while it is processing the html. But Version 6.4.6.2 still does the same.

When doing it via File - Export, it says Saving. When doing it via File - Save as, it doesn't say anything at all.

I guess this could be generalised to always refer to the format that is being saved/exported.
