i am just downloading 3.1.0, i am an excited user promoting this also to many people around me
here are some ideas that always were annoying to me in the ms office: 1. when opening files, i always get a tiny scrollbox, but if i want to choose a file, i need it in detail and full size. i always need to change the boxes, but next time it is the same again. - this could be done better in ooo, ms has not managed this since 15 years and also not reacted to my truly ardently aired desire. 2. the last files used function in ooo is not good. it should show more than the last 9 (why 9, why not 50????) and it should only show those that relate to the current application eg. calc files only. by the way the recovery feature is amazing. 3. it takes very, very long to open from when i double clikc a calc or impress file in explorer 4. in impress, there should be a function to shrink all imported graphics in one single feature. ppt has it. 5. ooo is very good for laptops, you could generally focus on giving more useful keyboard shortcuts 6. in calc, the macros are de-facto dysfunctional. i tried to record, but couldnt find it thereafter, so i dont even know if i recorded at all. also, macros are made to make my work faster, so it should be easy to assign a global keyboard shortcut to any macro at teh time when i stop recording. 7. please give a softbutton and keyboard shortcut for 1,000,000.00 number format. it is the most needed 8. a graphics function that works in all applications where the surroundigns of an object are removed. e.g. i take a picture of a car, and i dont want the bush, the house, the people, the sky, just white, actually just nothing (100%transparent). Since this is smetimes amigous, a box could pop up and offer thumbnail size proposed frames to remove the surroundings. It is really a headache, this, the issue is about the object and the surroundings are always unprofessional. 9. please make it SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO easy to donate. I once tried but gave up. For europe, you might just respond with your IBAN and BIC bank account from any eu country. if there is one in austria, preferred, even if IBAN transactions are free of charge within the EU. I donate EUR 50 right away if you respond with these data. 10. i once also tried to participate in your forums, but didnt have the time to dig through the how to. please easier, e.g. option to just enter with my email address and sned, dont need to discuss, just want to drop my info to someone who uses it. rgs Max Staudinger +43 664 111 333 9
