--- Comment #5 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #3) > File > Properties: [ ] Apply User Data should do the trick. Oh, you're saying that if we uncheck that, the view information is not saved? But - view information is not "user data"... Or, if it is considered user data - users are unlikely to understand this applies to view settings. Moreover, the discoverability here is too weak. Users who are not strongly aware such information is saved will not seek it out; and even if they do, they may fail to enter "File properties" for this purpose. > There is also a > setting under Tools > Options > Security: Options "[ ] Remove personal > information on saving". Same points as before: * view information is not what users will consider to be personal data * Low discoverability > Otherwise, duplicate of bug 159130 "Add option to remove personal > information from documents at runtime" That bug is a bit shapeless IMNSHO... I just commented there. What I think I'd like to see is a toggle in the File > Save... dialog, for this. And if we add toggles for a few other kinds of potentially-sensitive information to that dialog, then - either we have an expandable section with toggles for different things; or we have one toggle for all potentially-sensitive data. ---- Also, it might be a good idea to have a discussion about the privacy-and-what-gets-saved issue a bit more broadly than the scope of just a single bug. And it would probably be a good idea to have more voices in that discussion. ESC session? Design meeting with effort to get more participants? Discourse thread? Something else? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
