Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 51333
Add "Apply" button to dialogs "Tools-Options" and "Tools-Customize"
Last modified: 2014-05-13 17:10:56 UTC
Please add an "Apply" button to the "Options" and "Customize" forms.
SBA: This VERY BRIEF enhancement request is about the two dialogs "Tools-Customize" and "Tools-Options". I adjusted the summary accordingly. They currently have these buttons: Dialog TOOLS-CUSTOMIZE: <Ok> <Cancel> <Help> <Reset> Dialog TOOLS-OPTIONS: <Ok> <Cancel> <Help> <Back> Reassigned to Requirements.
Any chance of having this feature in 2.3 ... maybe 2.4 ?
No chance having this in 2.3. The due date of feature freeze has been passed. Please don't change the version entry: We wnt to know for which version the issue has been written. That it occurs in 2.2 also is simply logical.
I don't understand why this should be a "P2".
target 3.x (can't be fixed until code freeze)
There are several other requests for "Apply" buttons dating back to 2001. I'm posting this message in all of them. Does anyone know an effective way to join them, to add the votes, to raise visibility with developers ? These are found looking for the word "Apply" in the subject: 2374 (ui) add Apply button in Options to avoid having to re-drill down 10173 (Drawing) Apply button to dialogs 15582 (Word processor) Implement 'Apply changes' option 24443 (Word processor) change button name of style catalog: ok -> apply 45396 (framework) "Apply" button in "Appearance" box 51333 (framework) Add "Apply" button to dialogs "Tools-Options" and "Tools-Customize" 67133 (framework) apply button in options tab 67848 (Chart) add a button 'Apply' on the dialog 'Object Properties' In the meantime, I hope you'd consider voting for all of them. Thanks, Edgardo.
Changes are applied immediately - no need for Apply button. AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1571426 2014-02-25_04:10:58 - Rev. 1571555 Debian
Seems an appropriate and useful feature request @Edwin: What exactly do you mean with "Changes are applied immediately" I am not sure whether you understood intention of this report.
1. File - New - Text Document 2. Tools - Customize... - Toolbars - for example uncheck in Toolbar Content - Commands - Document as Email... -> toolbar is immediately affected, program doesn't hold change and await confirmation with "Apply".
(In reply to Edwin Sharp from comment #9) > program doesn't hold change and await confirmation with "Apply". Yes, that's one what does not need an 'Apply', of course. But very most other changes currently only will be applied with OK Example: Calc Menu 'Tools -> Options -> Calc -> View -> Gridlines'), Example: Menu 'Tools -> Options -> OO -> General - Extended Tooltips' If you check that one because you need Extended Tooltips for further settings, you will have to close the dialog after having checked and to reopen with 'Tools -> Options' before you can continue The request of course is for those ones. And I think all these can't be Confirmed before we have a clear concept. What changes can and should be applied immediately (as your example), for what would an [Apply] button be useful (for example if changes cost much processor load or if you do not want to see any new value of a spin box value immediagely in the document or ... So we currently only can collect UNCONFIRMED suggestions and hope that someone with talent will find the time to create a complete concept. I know about long pending thoughts at LibO, for example <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/PropertiesButtonLayout>. I haven't a clue whether we have similar strategic planning in AOO
"someone with talent" hasn't accepted this issue in the last nine years. What makes you think it will happen in the next nine years?
