[Heiko Tietze]

Present: Cor, Sahil, John, Ring, Heiko
Comments: Stephane, Eyal, Stuart

Tickets/Topics

  * Bullets and Numbering dialog in Writer does not say it's about an
    implicit list style
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160629
    + list styles created and applied via toolbar are hard to identify
      as such in the B&N dialog
    + no label substitutes the need to learn how this works; we may drop
      all shortcuts and ease functions but the cost is too high (Heiko, Cor)
    => suggest WF

  * Want indication of whether a master slide is in use or not
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160403
    + MSO Powerpoints shows the number of slides in a tooltip (Stephane)
    + additional boolean indication would be nice (Eyal)
    + tooltip sounds good and is not harmful (John)
    + not much useful since "Delete Master" is only available if the
      slide master is not in use (Cor)
    => no objection, low priority

  * When right-clicking a font family combo-box, offer font meta-data
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152487
    + unclear use case and much likely off-topic being available in
      font management tools (Heiko)
    + info dialog sounds good but rather via special characters or
      in the character properties dialog (Stuart)
    + only use case is compatibility with some other font (John)
      + likely not part of the meta data
    + the Internet returns all search results (Cor)
    => idea does not find support; WF

  * Make possible 2 or more impress in fullscreen each on a dedicated
    monitor AND each seekable independently with user-defined hotkeys
    per each file
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160242
    + start Impress twice (Stephane), workflow is supported with a third
      monitor (John)
    + too niche, better suited for an extension (Stephane, Sahil)
    => WF
