Description: LO Writer Reminders: This is a marvelous feature but appears to be an "alpha" version for anyone other than short-session programmers. The fact that reminders are neither highlighted nor listed in the navigator is a drawback. That severely limits their attention-getting usefulness for writers of books. Those possibilities should be switch-on- or switch-offable so that they are visible and can be "alarmable" over time. Most research documents aren't done in a day. The limit of five reminders is too severe. That should be expanded to three times that amount, if not unlimited. Large documents in long composition sessions may need more for reference purposes. Last but not least, saving reminders with the document on exit can be crucial. Some documents need months to complete. Reminders should not be time or session limited. It would be more than useful for them to bring themselves to attention when waiting for future research and subsequent documentation to be added or referenced. If the suggestion is to find another method for reminders rather than “reminders,” then the feature can become somewhat of a waste of both author’s and programmer’s time to set when they provide such limited service. Reminders is a great feature, properly implemented. I would like to see this greatly improved. Not only I but I'm sure hundreds of others would be deeply appreciative. Any consideration to this would be greatly appreciated Keep up your great work. Appreciatively (since StarOffice Suite days) Actual Results: Reminders performs as described in the documentation. This is a feature enhancement request. Expected Results: Greater usefulness of the feature for more complicated documents than the current feature provides. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Provide more extensive functionality I'm sing the version that comes with Linux Mint 22 (7.3) but this enhancement should cover all versions: Version: 7.3.7.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 30(Build:2) CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Ubuntu package version: 1:7.3.7-0ubuntu0.22.04.7 Calc: threaded
Dropping a 'Reminder' (the Paperclip icon) supplements other navigation stack objects for "recency navigation" mode, while the current 5 entry stack seems sufficient for a current edit session--as reminders are *not recorded* into the ODF document archive on save. If you need something between sessions you should be using an a 'Bookmark' or maybe an 'Index' object. As noted the Navigator SB deck correctly handles the "Reminder" mode navigation, with 'Go Back' and 'Go Forward' in its content navigation mode set and no other content type selected, advancing down or up the stack of 5 reminders Also Exposing the Find bar's 'Navigate by' widget and its 'Previous Element' (.uno:ScrollToPrevious) and 'Next Element' (.uno:ScrollToNext), allows movement between the set 'Reminder' marks within a current edit session. Aside from increasing the stack of 'Reminders' (or allowing user to configure the size of the stack) don't see too much utility here. IMHO => WF
