Hi Cedric, all, I have been playing recently with the great new header / footer indicators, and there were 2 things that I considered suboptimal from the UX point of view:
- Appearing / disappearing of the controls after 1 second I noticed that most of the time when I am using that, I am terribly impatient even if it is just 1 second, and end up clicking the header / footer area hoping that it will appear earlier; similarly for disappearing. I played with that, and with the faster appearing / disappearing implemented by Thomas Collerton, there is no need for the 1 second timeout it seems; so I got rid of that: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=64e08fd3c5980b74bb958dc566c229d92db18726 - Showing both the header and footer controls, while the user is able to use just one of them at a time While it makes some sense from the implementation point of view to keep the headers and footers close in the code, from the user point of view I don't see why we should show both at the same time; the user is able to edit either header, or footer, but never both at the same time - she has only one caret ;-) So I decoupled that: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=cce76e658af88813e17dea4f04388a29d7e582df Both this is in master. I recall the headers / footers were implemented together with our UX guys, so I don't push it to libreoffice-3-5 as a normal fix, but rather use the 'late feature' track - with more review, hoping in consensus about this :-) I believe the above mentioned changes make the use of the new feature even more slick and sexy. So - can we agree to cherry-pick this to libreoffice-3-5 too? :-) Regards, Kendy _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
