--- Comment #5 from Heiko Tietze <tietze.heiko@gmail.com> ---
(In reply to Kenneth Hanson from comment #3)
@Heiko I hadn't tested a style tree not inheriting from Default, but I tried
it just now and it works the same either way. Are you using version 6.1? I
see 6.0.4.5 in your comment.
Also, I'm having trouble understanding the objection to hiding children of
hidden styles in the hierarchical view. What else would someone expect to
happen when you right click an entry in a tree and select "hide", except for
the entire subtree to be hidden?
As said, when you create MyStyles with lets say A4 below and A4_Letter,
A4_Document as children and delete A4 all below should be gone too. But if the
tree structure is not that hierarchical with something like
Public_Communication > Letter, Declaration, Foo it makes sense to keep the
items below. And as mentioned by Thomas it's safer to keep the children than
removing them if we discuss what use case is to prefer.
@Heiko (again) I'm not sure if the second paragraph, but it sounds like
you're suggesting flattening the tree such that the children of a hidden
style appear in the position the level the parent would have been. This
sounds even more perilous to me, because it suggests a false relationship
between the styles.
Good point. There is no solution that keeps the relation of children consistent
if the parent is hidden.
Now, I'd like to give a suggestion of my own. Include a checkbox for *all*
views, which hides/shows hidden styles as appropriate to the view. For
hierarchical, this would mean hiding children of hidden styles, for all
others, it would mean hiding only the hidden styles themselves. All unhidden
entries could be gray, italic, or whatever deemed appropriate. Then, the
separate Hidden Style view might not even be necessary.
Sounds reasonable, we have other tickets requesting changes like this (Thomas
will find the right bug). Actually "Hidden Styles" as an own category makes no
sense.
