(In reply to Wolfgang Jäger from comment #62)
It's a kind of surprise to me that this monster thread -in a sense- leads
anywhere after all.
And ultimately also to the very basic questions :-). Open Source has the
"drawback" that everyone can add functions - and want this to be accessible
easily. So the main menu grows and becomes more and more cluttered. We tried to
reorganize based on a few common guidelines [1] but of course that's not making
LibreOffice similar easy and simple to use as GDoc, for example. A way to make
all users happy could be to put different menu layouts into extensions (might
be possible right now, see bug 120132 and bug 123768 c6).
The issue here is a bit different. Todd expects direct formatting where only
style is available. Moving the menu entry down one item [2] causes not much
trouble with the menu but also has limited benefit. We would have to introduce
a function that applies a page style on one page only (and bloat further by
this). However, this would confuse users who are familiar with page style and
expect this new single-page-pagestyle to be configurable as ordinary page
styles. Very awkward, IMHO.
As Mike wrote, you are always welcome at the meetings.
