Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2011-02-26 09:46:15 UTC

The current toolbars are very flexible, but they are painful to manage/edit because you cannot use drag and drop to do so. Instead, you need to go into Tools > Customize, mess with categories and open/close dialogs each time you want to add an item, which is quite tedious.

Ideally, we should have a user interface that is drag-and-drop based, supports searching, has a live/immediate feedback and uses direct manipulation.

One of the best examples of such an interface is Firefox's (or Epiphany's) toolbar editing system. It's might not perfect, but it is pretty close.

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

Thanks for new idea. Currently I can find described ability only in KOffice. At least partially. Alas, internals of LibreOffice not allow this functionality. But, I hope, in future this will be possible, and will be implemented.

Setting to NEW as this is confirmed that it's a enhancement that seems like it would be quite functional. In terms of how hard this would be to do....I suspect pretty hard :-/ I'll bring it up in the mailing list and see if one of the UI guys want to take it on
