Hi everyone, If I may chime in with my 2 cents here: I preferred the original mockup -- simple, clean, beautiful, puts the focus on template thumbnails.
Frankly, I don't think a complex categorical view is necessary -- I would venture to guess that most people rarely touch templates, if at all, and therefore it's highly unlikely that someone will have 1000 Writer templates he needs to sort out into custom categories. And if one really has that many templates, he's better off using search. (BTW, a 100 templates per application is quite manageable with the previous mockup in a maximized window: a simple 10x10 grid. Or 5x20 when not maximized.) I also think tags are unnecessary feature bloat. The templates are already sorted out into their default categories, and there's a search function for those rare few with five hundred templates per application. Lastly, I would prefer that this didn't become a replacement for the "New" menu. Despite knowing about templates for quite a long time and having used iWork and MS Office for Mac, both of which show templates at startup until you disable the feature, I've never used templates. (I have used presentation styles, but those are different from templates.) Anyway, I hope I wasn't too depressing. I really loved the first mockup. :) -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
