Description tkdiaz 2020-12-14 20:54:30 UTC
Description:
When one saves in Word, a filename is suggested that contains the first few words of the document that one is saving. I like that feature and would love to see it offered with LibreOffice Writer vs. "Untitled 1" that is currently the default.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click any "save" option.
2. Document filename is "Untitled 1" by default.
3. Necessary to manually change document filename every time.

Actual Results:
When doing each of the 3 steps above, the filename will then change to whatever the user chooses.  My suggestion is that LibreOffice functions as MS Word does in this respect, by having a filename suggestion that is comprised of the first few words of the file that is being saved.

Expected Results:
File saves just fine but only manually.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I would like to see the software offering a filename that is made up of the first few words of the file that one is saving.
Comment 1 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2021-08-14 21:26:48 UTC
I strongly disagree for several reasons:
1/ the first words of a text document does not express generally the contains of the document
2/ the first words of a text document may be sensitive data
3/ when using template, the first words may be the same for documents using the same template 
4/ this method does not work for other modules (Calc, Impress/Draw and Math)
5/ it is good practice that the user explicitly choose the name of its document file; It is not the role of LibreOffice to think for the user.

Closing as WontFix.

Best regards. JBF
