| Feature title | TaskId | Spec. abstract | Spec. link | Component |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alphabetical Index change karl.hong@sun.com |
i25323 | feature-info: I have moved previous hard-coded index information from indexentrysupplier to localedata, create a new section LC_INDEX in localedata xml files. It includes 3 parts, index key, script type and page words. Index key defines a letter list for an index algorithm, like A, B, C...X, Y, Z for English Alphanumeric. It is possible to define more than one algorithm for a language, like we define 'pinyin', 'stroke' and 'radical' fro Simplified Chinese. If the letter list is blank, the individual UNO service for the algorithm should be provided. Script type defines Unicode range for the language, it is Unicode defined script type, like 0 for basic latin, 10 for hebrew, for example, we need 0 (basic latin) and 1 (Latin 1 Supplement) to cover German. See offapi/com/sun/star/i18n/UnicodeScript.idl for the list of script type. Page words contain two words, like p. and pp. for English, f. and ff. for German. The words are used in the option 'Combine indentical entries with p or pp'. |

| form text fields: New property "Text lines end with" frank.schoenheit@sun.com |
i13497 | When processing multi line text on a computer, there have always been two major approaches how to indicate a line break in a text, represented by a character string: so called "Unix style" line-ends and "DOS style" line-ends. Depending on which approach is used for a particular data set, applications working with this data need to take different measures to properly deal with the text. Database Access is also affected by this: When storing multi line text in a database table (field), there is no general definition which of the two approaches is to be used, instead, the approach is chosen by the designer of the database, and/or the designer of the applications working with this database. To allow the user the most flexibility in designing her database, and to improve OpenOffice.org's capabilities to interoperate with databases which follow any of the two approaches, the multi line text field in OpenOffice.org database forms will be extended with a setting how it should treat the input the user made – in a Unix-like or in a DOS-like way. | speclink | dba |
| "Filter" and "Sort" do not add criterion based on current
field anymore frank.schoenheit@sun.com |
i14491 | feature-info: When opening the "Filter" or "Sort" dialog from within either the data source browser or a database form, these dialogs now will *not* append a new filter resp. sort criterion according to the currently focussed control/column. As it turned out that this behavior was more a usability glitch than a feature (since it suggested the user a filter/order which in real was not present), it was removed in the course of fixing issue 14491. |

| "Character set" property renamed to "Font" frank.schoenheit@sun.com |
i26592 | feature-info: The "Character set" property for form controls has been renamed to "Font" for linguistic consistency. In german, the text changed from "Zeichensatz" to "Schrift". See issue 26592 (http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=26592) for details. |
