--- Comment #26 from Mike Kaganski <mikekagan...@hotmail.com> --- When we discussed the mockup from comment 15 on the call, in the beginning, we indeed discussed some workflow change. But in the end, our discussion came to this mockup, which intended to *not* change workflows, but instead to make the actions more obvious and accessible. Current (and proposed with the mockup) workflow focuses on one central idea: at any point in time, all *selected* borders have the same set of properties applied. This is not only difficult to change, but also is undesirable to change. This also implies one important property: *both* orders of operations: "select then configure" and "configure then select" result in the same set of properties applied to the selection. The border settings definition is necessarily complex, because we try to fake "simple property setter" for something that indeed is complex: multiple separate objects (up to 8 individual borders, with several elementary properties - color, width, style - for each). An alternative would be having too many individual simple controls - and that would be even worse. The proposal has the following advantages: 1. Introduce individual buttons to *select* individual borders (previously, that was only possible by clicking on parts of the preview). This allows to have *accessibility*, as well as UX improvement by hinting people who don't guess where and how to click on the preview. 2. Moving presets to an own panel, potentially allowing to define own presets. The problems with the mockup: 1. The "visible" should be kind of radio button (or a drop-down), with these options: none/visible/unchanged (to match current options). Visible means the controls below enabled; other two modes mean controls below disabled. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise
