I think it is better to let user configure all pop-up menu as he can do for menu
and toolbars

Would be a great feature that might help some people feel more at ease on Open
Office.  Many of people who have used it off of my laptop ask me how to use the
thesaurus on Open Office.  If it was more similar to the way MS Word does it, I
feel people would be more comfortable in taking a step to using Open Office.

This isn't just a matter of making it more like MS, but simply making it easier
to use - it makes sense to have synonyms in the context menu for a word, as
that's the only context in which they're applicable, and since you have to click
on a word either way it is less effort if the synonyms are right there in the
context menu rather than away in a menu.

Also, I have to agree with dprina - making context menus customizable, like
toolbars, would be a fantastic power-feature.

Target 3.x to give this is better visibility. No promise. ;-)

Not good enough - I demand a promise!  I demand that you do nothing else until
this is done!  No sleeping, no toilet breaks, no blinking until this feature is
released.  And I want a penguin.

Thank you mba, this is good news! The thesauri (e.g. the German Openthesaurus)
evolved very much over the last years. It is time not to hide this functionality
anymore. Looking forward to it.

IMHO toilet breaks are o.k.  ;-)

An interesting point: how to proceed when a word has a lot of synonyms, e.g. the
english word "house". Word only displays a fixed number of synonyms that seem to
be a result of an arbitrary selection (or may be the first 8 words, regardless
how many different meanings the word can have). Here's the result in Word 2003:

"home": home, residence, dwelling, abode, domicile, address, quarters
"accomodation": accomodation, building, ... (19 more results)
"family": ... (5 results)
"company": ... (5 results)
"accomodate": ... (6 results)

In the context menu it displays all synonyms of the first meaning and the first
one of the second. Doesn't look like a concept to me.

So what about OOo? We could 

- do it like Word
- only show the "category" synonym (home, accomodation, family, company,
accomodate")
- make each category synonym a popup menu itself, showing the list of synonyms
assigned to that category
- show all synonyms in one popup, separated by category
- ... ?

I would like to move that discussion to dev@ux.openoffice.org, but wanted to
make sure that all people interested in this issue are aware of that.

How do we join the discussion there?

You can subscribe to the list at ux.openoffice.org or you can post without being
subscribed and read answers in the archive or rely on getting cc:ed by the other
participants (what IMHO won't succeed always). The latter is more awkward and
time consuming (as the archives are not updated permanently), the first option
requires you to cope with some more e-mails (1-10 per day). 

Correction: the list is named discuss@ux.openoffice.org. Sorry for the mistake.

As discussed with CD and MBA:
In course of implementing this one for Calc/Draw/Impress it turned out that
those onse use a different UNO slot to start the thesaurus dialog compared to
the Writer application.

The result of the discussion was that the UNO slot ".uno:Thesaurus" should be
discarded and all occurrences need to be renamed to ".uno:ThesaurusDialog".


TL->QA:
The problem with this is that this change (if not done correctly and completely)
has a good chance to break at least the following things:
- application specific help for the thesaurus
- various related keyboard shortcuts
- the c05 and c08 installation sets
Thus be prepared for extensive testing!

If I am to find out about even more things that should be tested because of this
change I will list them here as well.

Hi guys,
thanx for taking on this issue. I certainly hope that this functionality will
help "convert" more users to OOo!
Since the status is fixed and the ticket is resolved, and discussion is a bit
too tech talk'ish for me, could you let me and others know, which OOo version
will include this functionality ?

thanx in advance,
Qlex

Target is OOo 3.3.
Since there are still some other issues that should be fixed in that same CWS I
think it will be next year before this one turns up in a developer build.

Link to spec added.

.

Openoffice writer is my only document processor writer ....
It will be vey interesting, usefull, better ....... to add this feature to my
favorite and only writer ....

Verified in CWS tl74.

I would think that this is a no-brainer. Despite the low votes, I think many
users would like to have this option.

Integrated in DEV300m82.

synonym provider/thesaurus, convenient dictionary and speed are a MUST for a
great, better than the competition, best of the best word system.

thanks for the needed improvements
