Hi Maxime, all! Wow, you ask somebody who never was in favor of having so many different "transfer the formatting"-functionality in LibreOffice / OOo ;-) Am Donnerstag, den 24.11.2011, 14:59 +0100 schrieb Maxime de Roucy:Hello I am the author of https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43067 For me the "format paintbrush" function should copy and paste the exact format of text and paragraph. The selected text where the format is apply should look exactly like the text where the format has been copied. Do you agree ?So, I've read parts of the spec, looked at the LibO issue and the OOo issue. So if I get it right, you ask whether the "hard formatting" from the source object should replace any "hard formatting" of the target object? Today, we seem only to add the "hard" formatting to the target.
What do you mean by "hard" formatting ? Today we ADD text and paragraph formatting from the source object to the text and paragraph target (AFAIK). What I propose is a second "format paintbrush" button (I don't know how it should be named) that would REPLACE text and paragraph formatting of the text target and paragraph target.
Right? If yes, then I agree with your point-of-view - although we do have lots of user who might be used to the given kind of behavior.
Is there any step to follow before I start to code the second "format paintbrush". Cause I think your agreement isn't enough, right ?
And now my *personal* point-of-view: There shouldn't be a format paintbrush, but the copy-and-paste functionality might be used as well to copy styles / formatting.
For my part I think "format paintbrush" button is as good as copy-and-paste (ctrl-C ctrl-V) solution. -- Maxime de Roucy Groupe LINAGORA - OSSA 80 rue Roque de Fillol 92800 PUTEAUX Tel. : 0 810 251 251
