Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 123246
"Insert - Fields - Other - DocInformation" Help needs corrections
Last modified: 2021-06-01 19:33:07 UTC
This is a collection of differences between Writer Help texts and UI for Insert - Fields - Other - DocInformation tab Type: Modified -> ok Editing time -> wrong! Total editing time Comments -> ok Document number -> wrong! Revision number? Created -> ok Info 0 - 3 -> wrong! Don't exist Last printed -> ok Keywords -> ok Subject -> ok Title -> ok
I will add more detailed and corrected suggestions how to improve Help as attachment. Not a new issue, already imprecise in OOo 3.1.1
Created attachment 82386 [details] Sample Document with suggestions ... how to improve Help texts
Thank you for the fix I don't know how you can submit it to integrate in helpfile Pootle.
@Rainer -- Some time ago, an area about the included application help was started on the planning wiki -- https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Application+Help It would be great to include your proposal there, and to get additional input from you (and others) concerning this area. You just need to apply for a cwiki account if you don't already have one.
@Rainer: This looks good for working on. Volunteers: compare the attachment by Rainer (proposed fixes) with the table you get in Insert - Fields - Other - DocInformation - Help. This can be solved in three steps: 1) Apply the corrections to existing entries (of course, "when when" is a typo and feel free to improve the language if needed). To find the right entries, a very good tool is OpenGrok: search the string in http://opengrok.adfinis-sygroup.org/source/ (select "aoo-trunk") and you will likely find the right line to be modified. This can lead to a first patch. 2) Reorder the table. This will require a second patch and we can come to that later. 3) Add a new entry to the table for "Custom". This will be the final step. @oooforum: Translations have a different workflow. Once this is modified in the source code, English strings will be exported and Pootle will be updated. Only at that moment (during the 4.2 translation cycle) we will be able to translate the fixed strings.
Reset the assignee to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
Updated the file main\helpcontent2\source\text\swriter\01\04090004.xhp as to the suggestions from Rainer. Table is reordered and item for Custom was already present
Can you already confirm this is fixed? Did you do a test build?
Reopened until this is cherry-picked for AOO42X and we have a successful build.
Just FTR: Comitted to trunk with: https://github.com/apache/openoffice/commit/0421c389dddd69a2b13589a46cecf740b2f123f4 and: https://github.com/apache/openoffice/commit/16bad011d5664ecad9ec62c76e69a59483c8c4d3 Cherry-picked for AOO42X.
Created attachment 87026 [details] Updated table Looks good so far, but I am not sure why it is "Custom 1 - 4", as the number of custom fields may be higher. What about "Custom 1, 2, ..." or simply "Custom"?
