[libreoffice-design] Why are not all dialog boxes are resizable?
Hi all, starting with a discussion on German ml [1] about different sizes on the dialog box of "Export as PDF" in different UIs (bug 95178 [2]) Thorsten recognizes that 275 dialog boxes aren't resizable, others are resizable. Is there any reason why they aren't resizable or can they be switched to resizable by default?

We talked about that last Fri on #libreoffice-design -- this was targeted effort of Adolfo Jayme to have all dialogs comply to HIGs Sample commits: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=f7393810a7b716be3a2c99c86dc9d78bd834dbfa http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=dca47c4774a8373a7389268e3123bf8ebcf109c3 The rule, in this particular case, seemed to be "if there are no input fields in the dialog, make it non-resizable". And, IIRC, PDF export dialog got a new tab with input field(s) - the PDF signing tab - only after it has been made non-resizable So if someone wants to fix an easy hack (very easy, really), this is a perfect opportunity, don't let it pass :) -- Katarina Behrens Softwareentwicklerin LibreOffice ––– CIB software GmbH Geschäftsstelle Hamburg Flachsland 10 22083 Hamburg ––– T +49 (40) / 28 48 42 -235 F +49 (40) / 28 48 42 -100 katarina.behr...@cib.de www.cib.de ––– Sitz: München Registergericht München, HRB 123286 Geschäftsführer: Dipl.-Ing.

And why should a user want to resize the "Export to PDF" dialog? It adds a lot of complexity to the dialog since min/max width/height have to be considered carefully, a grid layout needs to be added, the properties have to be stored (per user/workstation/company?) etc. And imagine the dialog, which either suddenly grows in height when the width is being reduced or adds a scrollbar. So I would rather turn the question into "Why is xy resizable?" (xy = options, for instance; also the inbuilt file dialog is resizable but in this case for good reasons). Anyway, good question for the guidelines. :-) [1] https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn742499%28v=vs.85%29.aspx -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: design+unsubscr...@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
