TM->BH: Please have a look, thanks !

additional idea to make sure it gets implemented better :)

this change should be reflected everywhere where now document title is 
used, for example, also in the prompt when unsaved document is closed 
etc (haven't found any other instance but probable there are some)

I'm participating in a proof-of-concept study of oo at a large financial 
company. I believe this (admittedly minor) enhancement would have an impact on 
successfully converting large numbers of users from ms office to oo. These 
users will in most cases be opening existing ms office docs, which will usually 
have either inherited titles (e.g. template name) if created by "save as", or 
the first word of the doc for new docs.

according to this post

http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgId=1592047

"OOo2.0 will display the filename, not the title."

this issue probably will be less important, but it still would be nice to have 
such a choice :)

Would it be an option to show the title if the document title has been set, and
the file name if the document title has not been set?

this is exactly as 1.x works - and the problem was word, inserting menaningless 
titles automatically (and peoplpe never really checked what is in the title), so 
that titles usually where "2" or the title of previous secret agreement ;))

so no, it should be an option to choose between title and filename (and if there 
is no name, _then_ fallback to 1.x behaviour and show filename)

Please don't add yet another preference for this. OpenOffice has already
about 500 of them, and it is much to hard to find anything in the options
dialog already. 

If you campaign for adding options like this one, please do the sensible thing,
and campaign for removal of other, less necesary options. There are lots of
them.

this question is raised again and again. i'm lazy, so i'll copy my view on this 
:)

i personally like oo.org prefrences, though i understand that it might seem 
pretty overwhelming (especially for new users). i believe the most proposed 
version - separation of preferences - would be the best solution. a lot of 
applications are doing this (xine, opera (in next release), firefox and others), 
so we have examples.

it probably could be as a choice when a user first starts oo.org (in user 
preferences) - wether to present beginner, advanced or expert preferences.

i searched for an issue, but could not find one. i would hate to see options 
removed, flexibility is one of strengths, not weaknesses. additionally, 
requestion to remove an option just because another is added is similar to 
asking for removal of word count if pdf export is added (or something :) ).

*** Issue 41116 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***

I would like to just add my support to adding this option.

I guess OOo has a lot of features/options, but why is this bad. OOo is 5+
programs in one, so you would expect this many options. A good word processor
alone should have 100+ options. This would also be true of each component. In
2.0, you can only see the options for that component while it is open while you
are in it, so the option issue might not be as severe.

If, the reason for the change is to emulate MS Word, then we should at least
make it so that the file extension doesn't show up.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
