[Bug 92406] STATUSBAR: Making the statusbar configurable in Writer
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92406 --- Comment #25 from Heiko Tietze --- Created attachment 192719 --> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=192719=edit Mockup We discussed the topic in the design meeting. While having a toolbar-like checkboxlist to show/hide individual panels seems to be fine, it could also be a nice enhancement if UNO commands can be assigned to the statusbar similar to other UI elements. Those UNO commands should not only come from the internal API but also added via extension. The checkbox at the right-hand list allows to set an item as mandatory (not becoming hidden in case of small width). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Would not need to be integrated. > > What do you think? While a Toolbar from .UI perspective, the Status Bar is not currently available to manipulate from the Customize dialog. But as Regina notes comment 15 the configuration XML for the Status Bar can be directly adjusted: The statusbar.xml found on a recent nightly on Win10 C:\LODev2480_20240219_TB77\share\config\soffice.cfg\modules\swriter\statusbar\statusbar.xml The specific stanzas for the available UNO widgets [1] set a number of parameters: align, autosize (if appropriate), mandatory (priority show as bar is shrunk). All T/F binary, and also a configured width (integer). =-ref-= [1] list of UNO widgets held on the Status TB in the default sequence: .uno:ModifiedStatus .uno:StatePageNumber .uno:StateWordCount .uno:StateAccessibilityCheck .uno:PageStyleName .uno:LanguageStatus .uno:InsertMode ** .uno:SelectionMode .uno:Signature ** .uno:Size .uno:ViewLayout .uno:ZoomSlider .uno:Zoom ** an UNO command that can be assigned via Tools -> Customize other than to Status Bar. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
[Bug 92406] STATUSBAR: Making the statusbar configurable in Writer
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92406 --- Comment #22 from Eyal Rozenberg --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #21) Trying to embrace the simplicity and complexity at the same time... consider the following set of potential state of affairs (which is obviously not the current reality): 1. The status bar is a kind of toolbar, but a special special kind. 2. Some UNO entities can be placed on both regular toolbars and status (tool)bars, some only on regular toolbars, some only on status (tool)bars. Let's call the union of these three sets "toolbarable UNO entities". 3. The question of which kinds of toolbar a bar entity can be placed on depends on whether developers have implemented a "regular toolbar mode" and a "status (tool)bar mode" for that entity. For example, the "Save" entity has both modes implemented and can be placed either on a regular toolbar or the status bar. 4. The same dialog is used for configuring all toolbars, including the status bar. What do you think? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
[Bug 92406] STATUSBAR: Making the statusbar configurable in Writer
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92406 --- Comment #21 from Heiko Tietze --- Statusbar items are defined in xml files like https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sw/uiconfig/swriter/statusbar/statusbar.xml and look like this So we can reasonably tweak the alignment and if it's mandatory and remains as long as possible on small windows sizes. Of course, a toggle to hide items is needed too. One option to tackle the problem is checkboxlist similar to the classic toolbars where users can hide/show individual items. Would be easy to use and maybe simple to implement. With the hurdle that right click interaction might have a meaning per panel. If things need to be more complex we may add a tab to the customization dialog with all UNO commands that may work on the statusbar on a left-hand list, the current setup right-hand, etc. all similar to toolbars or menus. My take is the simple solution, KISS! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92406 --- Comment #19 from Phoenix truthhorrified --- It is proposed to modify the behavior of Navigate by Comment so that it instead of opening the comment edit window, it instead moves the pointer to the comment anchor inside the page. This would keep the cursor in place when replying to closed comments that are no longer visible. While this may not be the desired response, it is better than losing the cursor altogether.

(I suggest to copy it, because then you can simple delete the copied file, in case it does not work for you.) Open the file in an editor and change values and/or order.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92406 --- Comment #14 from Stephen Meatheringham --- I would find a configurable status bar incredibly useful.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92406 --- Comment #7 from Tom Colley --- I think customization of status bar issues could be solved by allowing users to specify for each item in the status bar: - hide/show - high/normal display priority - left-right order of display Some algorithm could be deployed to share the display space between items on this basis. An easy "reset to default" option would be pragmatic for saving novice users from "fiddling" errors. Personally, I rely on the zoom buttons for Writer and Calc but often find they disappear when I'm sharing a single screen with multiple applications. Having this capability in Calc would also give me/others continual access to the useful "Selection Sum/Count/etc." facility, which often gets hidden. -- 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

What is remaining is - Page Number, Word Count, Page Style, Object Properties, Page View, Zoom. (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #2) It's hard to imagine the user who tweaks the status bar rather than switching it completely on/off. However customization makes sense in general. But I think those settings belong to the configuration, i.e the dialog. Yes customizing things are limited to more advanced users (e.g. Eve), so we need to have the default statusbar suitable to new and average users (e.g. Benjamin). The other alternative is to have a basic and advanced mode for the statusbar, so users dont have to choose everything they want enabled and then it would be a simplified option that could be in the View menu, and likely a simplified option for a dev to correctly specify the sizes for the basic mode. Here are statusbar options in other suites: Google Docs - None iWork Pages '09 - Zoom Percentage, Word Count, Page Number - http://www.digitalcupcake.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/iWork-Pages-One-Up-Two-Up.png iWork Page 5.0 - No actual statusbar, but you can enable a hovering Word Count that appears close to the bottom of the window.
