[DISCUSS] 4.1.10 Security Warning (resolved fixed BZ Issue 128451)
Hi all,
In today's post on English forum: "Hyperlink Warning Message" [1]
a _question_ was asked about the possibility of turning off the security
message
"This hyperlink is going to open (...) Do you want to proceed?"
This is the kind of _question_ one would expect from users.
So I have a few questions:
- is / will ever be there a way to switch off this message? (at one's own
risk...)
- is there a need to amend the 4.1.10 Release Notes?
(maybe additional information e.g. in the "Security" section)
- should contextual Help topic "Security Warning" be amended?
(it deals with macro security)
Regards,
Czesław

And that's why I didn't provide the exact quote from the forum.

What about even more - as you put it - cryptic message (Windows 7)?
"This hyperlink is going to open "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice
4\share\template\en-US\internal\url_transfer.htm""

The error message reported was
"This hyperlink is going to open “.uno:Reload”. Do you want to proceed?"
Which seems a little uninformative, or cryptic to the casual user.
