--- Comment #74 from macpipfzr@yahoo.it ---
I can confirm that this required new feature is critical for many production
environments where many people work together on the same document.
I also can confirm that I know cases where the entire company cannot migrate to
LO just because of the lack of this feature
In order to the required implementation of the new feature, I recommend to keep
in mind all those environments where many people does not use the LO source
document but "printed" copies of its releases, either physical print-out copies
of the document or images of it (eg. tiff, pdf, jpg ...).
Here, the user of the printed copy NEEDS to know which parts the document had
been modified since the previous revision, but each revision NEEDS to appear as
similar as possible to the final document. Generally, the last released
revision is the final one until an if a change is required.
So previous releases may have been the final one for a long time.
For these cases, to me, the solution should be something like:
The "Show Changes" menu should present two independent options:
- "Show changes marker" option:
if enabled the side marker (the thin black line generally on the left of the
modified text), meaning that those lines have been affected by changes, is
shown. The marker should be printable as it is today.
- "Show previous text" option:
if enabled the modified text should be shown in-line the same way it is shown
today
This way, if both these options are enabled the behaviour is exactly the same
as today.
About balloons, that's good idea. The "Show previous text" option could be
split in "... as in-line test" or "... as balloons".
The "Manage Changes" tool should permit to change the previous options.
Everywhere in this comment: Should => I'd like :)
