Description moray33 2013-07-29 10:05:54 UTC
When I open a document, it's always showed with 100% scale. If I change the scale and close the document, the next time I open that document (or any) the scale is set to 100% again.

I can not reproduce this behavior, tested using ODT and .docx file format with Windows 8 and LibreOffice Version: 4.1.0.4 Build ID: 89ea49ddacd9aa532507cbf852f2bb22b1ace28

@bug reporter: what document format did you use? Can you reproduce this from scratch to, or did you only try with an existing document?

Kind regards,
Joren

Ah dangit, tested this one wrong. LibreOffice just remember it, it doesn't store it in the file. Opening a new document result also in the zoom-scale I exit it the last time :).

PS ... not sure we can store it in the files. Our native/"own" file extension is ODT for text documents. Not sure there is such thing to store it.

@Michael: is this allowed in ODF/ODT :)? If not we can close this bug I guess.

Thanks in advance,
Joren

If I change the scale but I don't do any change in the document and save it, it doesn't remember the new scale, it remembers the scale of the last time it was saved.

Plus, I just found the cause of the 'original' problem I wanted to report.

In the office, I have 3 Windows PC with LibreOffice. One of them has one directory shared and we work there from all the PCs. In that directory, from a client PC LibreOffice doesn't remember the scale of .DOC files. With .ODT and .DOCX works 'well' (I have to save it to remember a new scale as I said in the previous message), but it always open .DOC with 100% scale.

It worked well in 4.0

Please create another bug report for that.

This is not a proper bug report. On reading, I'm not clear what this bug is about. 
Report needs to be clear with all details, preferably in a single post, without a need for multiple explainations: 
REPRODUCED: _______
EXPECTED: _______

If it's like this:
REPRODUCED: Writer doesn't remember zoom-scale of a document if you don't save it
EXPECTED: LibreOffice remembers last zoom-scale of a document, regardless if it was saved

than I don't find this a justified request. It is not explained why and how LO would remember a zoom state of all the documents it ever opened. 
In my case, I want to have only what's saved.
To get that answer, I set back to Needinfo.

The thing is sometimes you download or receive a document and you don't want to actually modify it but you want to see it in a different scale. When I reported this bug you couldn't change the scale and save the document, you had to change something in the document in order to save the changes. Now you can save the document whenever you want, so I think that will do.

So I'll close as WorksForMe.
