Thanks, I hate it. The old icons were far clearer as to their purpose. Save is now a download button in case children don't recognize a floppy...

No, that is the Gnome Icon set, the new Windows Icon set is still a floppy.

Then simply use the older icons :-) EDIT: Three steps: 1. Go to Tools > Options in the menu 2. Click View on the left 3. Then choose Icon style on the right
> Then simply use the older icons :-) Simple for you doesn't mean simple for other people. Without writing down the steps on exactly how-to use the older icons, it doesn't equate to simple in my opinion. IOW, you probably had done yourself a favor to not use the word "simply".
I was referring to the fact that he "hated" the icons - it's not the end of the world, as you can use the old ones. But you're right, I've added the three steps to my original post!

Re: LibreOffice 6.1 released
#25I have grown increasingly disinterested in Office Suites, and in particular word processors, over time.
When composing documents, I prefer to let the final production medium to dictate the production process. (If I don't, I tend to run into issues relating to the final product that are costly to overcome late in the process.)
With this mindset, I still haven't found the use case for word processors. If I aim for something to be designed well in print, it makes most sense to use a desktop publishing tool like Scribus. For the web, something like Org or Markdown covers 99% of the use cases. Org or manually writing LaTeX is good for print use when fancy designs are not key.
What do you people use word processors for?

Excellent question. I have found that I need office suites less and less. The reason I still have an Office365 subscription is for Onedrive and Onenote, for the few remaining classic documents I use Libreoffice because I found that I almost never exchange pure .doc-files with anyone, so no focus on perfect compatibility is needed and I do not want to grow some dependency on Microsoft somehow (nothing against MS, I just like independence).
To answer your question: I only use Libreoffice to write write the occasional letter to state authorities and to write my invoices (which are few). For serious documents, I exclusively use LaTeX as I love not having to care about layout details (it sometimes takes time to figure new stuff out, like putting graphics into the perfect place, but when a deadline is near, the layouting is nothing I have to care about any more).

1. What you've described as 'not "tracking" ' is tracking. It's not third-party tracking but you're still deliberately adding a cookie for the purpose of tracking users across your site. 2. Your privacy policy contains: > !!!add opt-out frame on the website at this position!!!

OK, we're using open source tools to try to improve the site. Plenty of other FOSS projects do this... Not sure why we're being singled out :-)
It sounds like it's more intrusive than most of the GDPR cookie notice spam that's been appearing on sites. But if it's causing users to start noticing and asking questions about the tracking on web sites, then GDPR seems to be working. (uBlock Origin also seems to be working because I didn't see the notice.)

I use word processors to work with other people. I can't tell you how many times I've been sent .doc, .ppt, .xls, or other Microsoft file formats that have become ubiquitous in the modern workplace.

I feel exactly the same way. Word processors are a muddle of a middle ground, where you are forced to manage styles and layouts with substandard comtrols, and get none of the dependable benefits of structured text.
I think word processors are just entrenched. People expect this degree of control, and don’t know how better things can be in either direction.
Fun fact: the original Google word processor wasn’t really much of a word processor. It was more akin to LyX, where users chose the type of text they were working with, and then IIRC, CSS styling was applied. But then the pressure to be a “real word processor” got the better of them, and it got rewrote as the thing it is today.
Frame Maker... now that was a nice take on document creation.
