When saving as a .DOC format, a warning dialog asks for confirmation that you want to save to the non-default file format. Historically, that dialog very helpfully contained a checked box "Ask when not saving in ODF or default format". But starting with LO 25.8, this simple way of disabling a common (and rather useless/confusing) warning was lost. Now the user needs to know that the setting is buried under "Tools - Options - Load/Save - General". This started with 25.8 commit 7f4901ded76fa3f3dffaef2d8f68d5c4803d98a2 Author: Heiko Tietze on Fri Jan 24 15:29:10 2025 +0100 More appealing design for alientformat warn dialog Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/180713 There was no bug report tied to this change, and no comment indicating why an existing useful feature has suddenly been removed.

Why not use the same label as before for the checkbox? "Show again" is not very clear. End user will ask: Show again what? Best regards. JBF
