RE: In Libre office: Can you please include a "delete this document" in the list of options under "File". Thanks, David Operating System: Windows 8 Version: 4.2.5.2 release
Dear David, I personally dont think libreoffice should act like a file manager, but will let someone else from the QA team give their opinion on the matter.
Dear Philip, Thank you for your reply. I totally disagree with your stance on the problem. I think your stance and attitude is ridiculous, irresponsible and reprehensible. What is such a big deal about adding a "delete" feature? It is extremely awkward and cumbersome to delete unwanted documents, if one is going through documents and finds one that is corrupted or not needed for any reason. For goodness sakes there is already many aspects of file management in the file options, but a very important one: "delete this document" is missing. It may be your idea or viewpoint, but you are wrong. It is a very necessary part or function of an app. Therefore I appeal your viewpoint. Thank you for your understanding. In good faith, I did make a donation to Libre, when I downloaded it, and I expect you to operate with integrity and good attitude, and act in good faith and good will, to make the best possible and most user friendly product possible, and give the product the best reputation possible.

Hi David, I agree with Jay that it's not the role of an office suite to manage the files, files manager are done for that, with all the necessary properties to do it correctly. Thanks a lot for your donation to our project and rest assure that we operate with integrity and good attitude to develop the best suite even when we provide our product for free.

Hi Sophie, Thank you for your reply. I think your atitude and POV is irresponsible. And: Just because you disagree with me does not mean you are right. If it is not your responsibility to make such an improvement, whose responsibility is it?

I did not see Jay replying to you in a disrespectful or insulting manner, an I don’t think his response deserves any of your qualifiers. > but you are wrong Nobody’s “wrong” or “right” here. > It is a very necessary [...] No, it is not. That’s your opinion. Why should LibreOffice start adding file management features? If you find deleting files “extremely awkward and cumbersome”, I would blame Windows 8. Microsoft Office has never had a “Delete this document” command as well. That simply does not belong in an office suite.

Ok, now that I figured out that file manager is not part of libre office, and I now understand that it is part of windows ..... (and which my computer technician (from Geek Squad) did not either, when I asked him to try and fix it, and told me that it was libre's problem) Jay should of realized (saw) that I did not understand that file manager was not part of Libre office but part of windows, and explained that to me, instead of just saying that they will not add that feature that I asked for. There what do you call that kind of customer service. I also think your beratement of me was ridiculous and unwarranted. There was nothing wrong with the words that I used, because they were true. Is a person not allowed to speak the truth? Your customer skills are poor. I am probably a lot older than you are, too.

I'm glad the you have finally figure this out. > (and which my computer technician (from Geek Squad) did not either, when I > asked him to try and fix it, and told me that it was libre's problem) If your computer technician from Geek Squad didn't know that a word processor isnt supposed to act like a file manager, then unfortunately he/she is a moron, and you should file a complaint with them about this issue and never use their service again as you are wasting your money paying individuals who dont know what they are talking about. If you simply search on google and youtube for most of your computer problems, you will likely find webpages and videos that can help you with them, and its for free. > Jay should of realized (saw) that I did not understand that file manager > was not part of Libre office but part of windows, and explained that to me, > instead of just saying that they will not add that feature that I asked for. I am not a mind reader to know what you do or do not know? I simply stated that "I personally dont think libreoffice should act like a file manager" and if you didn't know what a file manager is or how it functions, then you should have simply asked politely for more information. But instead you chose to insult not only me but Sophie as well and state "It may be your idea or viewpoint, you are wrong." and "Just because you disagree with me does not mean you are right.", when you didn't know what you were talking about. Your responses have been similar to you going into KFC and asking to order a pizza, only to then know that they dont sell pizzas, and then demanding to speak to the manager because you think KFC should be selling pizzas. > There what do you call that kind of customer service. We are not here to act as a customer support service, as you are not paying us for such support. Your donations go towards the continuous development of the software, which you are using for free. We are here to listen to users suggestions and decide whether or not they are valid for what we believe the software should contain. > I also think your beratement of me was ridiculous and unwarranted. If you are ready to insult people dont be surprised when they insult you back. > There was nothing wrong with the words that I used, because they were true. > > Is a person not allowed to speak the truth? Unfortunately there was no truth behind your suggestion for the inclusion of a 'delete this document' feature and no truth behind your insults. The first thing behind speaking the truth, is knowing what you are saying is actually true, but clearly you didn't know what you were saying and acted as if you did. You calling your opinion truth, doesn't make it true. And if this discussion is all about saying the truth, then unfortunately the truth is that you are an idiot, but of course, thats just my opinion. > Your customer skills are poor. Your manners are poor. > I am probably a lot older than you are, too. Age doesn't give you the right to disrespect others and you'd think that someone who is older would be more polite and wiser, but it seems that hasn't happened for you. Looking over previous bugs that you have submitted, i see that i had assisted you with bug 80857. It is clear that you are a new users and as such you should spend time learning about the software rather than asking for help because you dont understand how it works. You can find a playlist of 91 video at the following link on how to use LibreOffice Writer < http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL94682FC0D2ADF410 >. I personally wont be reading or commenting anymore on this issue, or any more issues that are submitted from you, as its a complete waste of my time, time that i volunteer for free that can be used more wisely than this.
