Description pierre-yves samyn 2015-09-10 13:16:57 UTC
Hi

As part of the evolution of the interface I suggest "File> Preview in Web Browser" to be moved to sub-menu "File> Send> Preview in Web Browser""

Why:

- Consistent with the other items in this menu (sending in another application / module)
- Removing a separator (shortest File menu)

Regards
Pierre-Yves

Yes this is correct for the Send sub-menu, though i would make an exception to retain it in the main menu for Writer Web.

Separator is gone in master, but yes shrinking the File menu is quite useful, especially now that 'Open Remote File' and 'Save to Remote Server' were recently added as part of the GSoC for the improved CMIS support.

I do not like this kind of exception in the menus that do not make them consistent...

I guess you have usability data that I do not have but I think this command is rarely used, even in Writer?

Its unfortunate but each application is unique and we have to promote what part are most important to those apps. At least this time, the entry is still in the same menu. :D

For users who use Writer and Writer Web as an html editor, it is an important command, which is why in Writer Web, i have added it into the standard toolbar.

Would it not be possible to keep the entry in the File menu only for html documents?

Otherwise, I agree to close this report and I thank all those involved in the improvement of LibreOffice.

Unfortunately not.
