ux-ctest: Recovery Wizard: Modal Wizard Dialog Disables User to Work with Application
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
User must go thru recovery wizard or she is not able to work with OOo Recommendation: - make the wizard non modal - do not renamed “Start recovery >” button in recovery wizard and automatically load documents after recovering - separate recovery process from error reporter
Keyword: ux-ctest
JA: AFAIK this behaviour is intended within the design of the autorecovery feature. It was a goal to combine the two features autorecovery and error reporting within one dialog. As long as the recovery of the documents hasn't been finished it's not wanted to have the application responsive. One feature could make this dialog more user friendly: being able to select the documents which the user wants to recover within the autorecovery dialog. btw. if you don't want to recover you can cancel the dialog.
set target to OOo 2.x
Set to OOo later.
A document I was working on crashed and when I turned the computer back on, I got the screen for OpenOffice.org Document Recovery. The instructions told me to press the "No Start Recovery Button", but there is no such button on the screen. Now every time I try to pull up any office documents I get the OpenOffice Recovery Document screen and cannot get around it. To get rid of that screen I must go to Task Manager and "end task" on OpenOffice. Please help!!! Shirley Metts
