Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 28895
Paste Special dialog should return somehow to defaults
Last modified: 2014-03-27 13:57:41 UTC
Hi, I find the QuickStarter often causes me grief, because settings which I would think should be updated, are kept because Quickstarter is running in the background. One task I often do is to use Paste Special in Calc to Paste a Value instead of the formula. This requires changing three check boxes. However once this is done, in the next Calc session I would like the Paste Special to revert back to the default values. I don't even mind if this happens if I close Calc. However I need to close out of OpenOffice.org and then close Quickstarter as well. Then the Paste Special options will return to the default. I'm not certain which would be the best option. At a minimum however, having the default settings return by closing OpenOffice.org without having to close Quickstarter would mean things are less confusing. It is not always obvious people have to close Quickstarter and as a result they think something is not working. An alternative approach is to have a Default button on the dialogue. Then the Paste Special dialogue could be easily reset to the default settings by the user. It takes a lot of understanding what all the Paste Special options do. Once you start changing options it is hard to remember what they were to begin with. Hope this helps. Kelvin
Hi Bettina, one for you. Frank
