* Present: Heiko, Kendy, Samuel, Stuart, Tomaž
* UI changes integrated the last week:
+ Kill destructive color conversion menu in Impress (Tomaž)
+ ToolbarAsMenu controller in reportdesign (Maxim)
+ Displaymode icons (Andreas)
+ Improved toolbars (Jay)
+ Breeze icons improvements (Andreas)
+ Fix tooltips for frame alignment buttons (Samuel)
+ Save button behavior (Samuel)
+ Save contains "Save as" and "Save remote" in a dropdown
+ Dropdown was disabled when "Save" was disabled
-> Made the button dropdown only when save disabled
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/20079/
+ However, this is quite irritating (button has two different modes, user
doesn't know why he can't click save and later he can)
+ Also users missing indication whether document is saved
+ possible solutions:
+ make only the dropdown active
+ move the functionality to Save As
+ what do you want from that button? (Heiko)
+ is there a good reason to disable Save in the first place? (Heiko)
+ we already have a user setting to enable Save all the time (Kendy)
+ moving to Save As is a problem: wanted to hide it in the default toolbar
+ Save status is in the status bar too (Kendy)
+ not many people know about that though (Heiko)
+ the information could be in the tooltip; even with additional info
(Document is saved / Document is modified / ...) (Kendy) +1 (Stuart)
+ eg. MSO has that enabled all the time (Samuel)
+ additional / new icon indicator in the toolbar for that - disabled by
default (Heiko)
+ icon that looks disabled, but still clickable (Samuel)
+ that would be confusing (Heiko)
+ possiblity to switch the icon to one with a star when unsaved
changes? (Kendy)
+ decoration / small star
+ like it (Heiko)
+ any technical limitations when allowing saving all the time? (Heiko)
+ not that I am aware of (Kendy)
+ conclusion:
+ implement switching of the Save icon to a "Document has changes" state
+ decorator, like an added star (Andreas promised to take a look,
at least for Breeze)
+ enable Save always
+ remove the configuration setting to disable the Save button (because
it would be confusing when the user switches to "disabling")
+ hide the Save As from the toolbar
+ Samuel will talk to Maxim, let's still try to get this in as a late
feature
+ Navigator in Impress & Draw (Samuel)
+ What to do with "Show Navigator when Slideshow running"?
+ there is a possibility to have the navigator visible during presenting
(Samuel)
+ but that's the point of the presenter console (Samuel)
+ would like to remove this feature (Samuel)
+ does not even work in my 5.0 :-) (Kendy)
+ looks unused / nobody misses this feature apparently (Samuel / all)
+ keep in mind that people wanted the use case the separate window for
navigator in Writer (Stuart)
+ conclusion:
+ let's remove the "Navigator visible" from Slide Show -> Slide Show
Settings...
+ if there is a missing functionality, let's find out the exact use
case, and add to the presenter console
+ EasyHack created for this:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96414
+ Mail merge toolbar (Kendy)
+ current problem: in the Mail Merge Wizard, the document state switches
between the "Source" and "Target" view
+ confuses users a lot
+ proposed to drop the last 3 screens from the mail merge wizard
+ instead put this functionality to a toolbar, that has
+ Mail Merge Wizard (for changes in the address settings etc)
+ back and forth for navigation
+ skip recipient
+ Edit Individual Documents...
+ Print (range)
+ e-mail (range)
+ conclusion: sounds good
+ will share the prototype when I get there (Kendy)
* Suggestions from Roland (Samuel)
+
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/libre-office-vs-numbers-td4167428.html
+ Roland now bootstrapped, let's see (Samuel)
+ we can close this topic for now
* Table styles blog post (Heiko)
+ shared a draft
+ needs a bit of discussion too unfortunately (Heiko)
+ discussed it in the call (Kendy/Heiko)
+ Heiko will finish the draft & publish
* Start Center GUI suggestions for change (Stuart)
+ there were some new proposals about the start center (Stuart)
+ thanks so much for thinking in the new ways
+ sharing only a screenshot is not enough though
+ when considering a big change, more communication is needed -
encourage to
join the #libreoffice-design, and discuss there
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96383
+ Change Start Screen - kompilainenn's
+ very concise, tabbed GUI -- maybe an alternate to current thumbnail
based (Stuart)
+ would
