Tickets/Topics

  * Add the possibility to save and load custom predefined settings for
    Text Import in Calc
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156879
    + Data Provider could be a solution, though it's experimental (Heiko)
    + can follow the use case (Eyal, Cor)
      + possible solution is to remember the last settings (Eyal)
      + in a first solution we could just remember the checkboxes
      + previous column types could be used if the number matches
      + does not clutter the UI (Heiko)
    + to load presets could be done too but would be a heavy interaction
      and kind of over-engineering
    + multi-selection of columns to batch apply a type is helpful
      too - which is possible in the current version (Cor)
  => remember the last settings, if multi-selection is not sufficient

  * UI Feature Request: Possibility to hide a page like in Impress
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156802
    + can follow the use case (Stephane)
    + always possible to exclude pages on printing/exporting
      to PDF (Regina, Cor, John)
    + against "hide" because of the semantics but agree with
      means to remember a print range (Eyal)
  => resolve WF and suggest to file a new ticket for print range

  * AUTOFILTER : Doesn't work with 2 words like "CP" and "Mi-CP" or "MiCP"
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157878
    + Tools/Options/Calc/Calculate:Apply to whole cells should do
      the trick (Miguel)
    + AutoFilter should be independent of that option (Eike)
    + always compare the autofilter against the entire cell; the fuzzy
      search/filter could be done by multi-selecting *CP* per search
      for CP
  => change the behavior to always apply the autofilter to the
     entire cell

  * PDF restrictions in signed PDF documents
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143134
    + it's normal that you cannot add comments in signed file (Timur)
    + non example for the opposite; signed document should stay
      unchanged (Heiko)
    + some environments exist where the signed document has an attached
      commenting workflow; will ask on the ticket (Cor)
    + it might be a flag to allow comments in signed PDFs (Hossein)
      + possible with Adobe software (Cor)
  => not a topic for UX

  * Ability to navigate via viewing area on charts
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138509
    + good for an extension (Jean-Baptiste)
    + 1. Ability to Zoom in
      + good idea (Eyal, John, Cor)
      + over-engineering; advanced chart functions are better suited
        for specialized tools (Heiko)
    + 2. Ability to Select data range
      + same as above (Heiko)
      + support this too (Eyal, John, Cor)
    + if we want to improve on this area we should include R with
      some libraries
  * Ability to hover on charts to quickly visualize details
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138510
    + we do show tooltips, but chart needs to be in edit mode (Heiko)
    + good idea, maybe worth a META ticket (Eyal)
  => comment

* Tabbed interface: Overflow the tabbed interface to scroll/flip instead
   of a popup
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158123
   + Importance of making tabbed feature usable on different
     screen size (Hossein)
   + alternative overflow mechanism has pro and cons (Heiko)
=> comment
