Comments: Stuart, Jan, Regina, John, Andrii
Tickets/Topics
* First launch welcome dialog: example animated bitmap looks grainy,
request new SVG artwork?
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166596
+ some acceptance to drop the animation (Ilmari)
+ might trigger motion sickness
+ simple and easy design touch, tab is just a welcome (Heiko)
+ click on the image to start the animation (Mihai)
=> remove it (easyhack: cui/source/dialogs/whatsnewtabpage.cxx
drop m_pGraphic.StartAnimation() and all around)
* add a visual preview dropdown widget to the notebookbar
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166924
+ object picker with nice visualizations are welcome
in general (Stuart)
+ PP provides access to the animations and its settings in the ribbon
while we do the same with the sidebar; adding images that more
clearly show what the animation does sounds great, of course,
but beyond it's not much of an improvement (UX-wise; design is
clearly nicer on PP) (Heiko)
+ bullet-like picker would be too crowded and limited (Mihai)
+ Sidebar is powerful, and by default closed (it opens per
click on Layout > Animation); suggest to keep it minimized
visible (Mihai)
+ icons in the list maybe (Wodsfort)
+ might be too small but could be combined with an (animated)
preview changing on hover (Heiko)
+ could also imagine a widget showing a list of recently used
animations (Heiko)
=> comment
* UI label: Toggle Print Preview or 'Toggle Preview'
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166935
+ keep "print" (Jan)
+ issue exists (Eyal)
+ uno:PrintPreview goes with the label "Print Preview" (shown under
File in the main menu) and the tooltip "Toggle Print Preview"
+ against changing it (Mihai, Heiko)
+ alternatively "show print preview" (Sahil)
=> resolve wf
* In-cell pictures
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167017
+ perhaps possible without ODF modification (Regina)
=> nothing to add for the functionality
* LibreOffice Writer (Tabbed Compact) – Interface Redesign
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166894
+ totally unrealistic (Stuart)
+ make the black border lines a bit less obtrusive (wodsfort)
+ if implementation isn’t possible it makes sense to go into detail (Andrii)
+ in general improvements to the Tabbed Compact notebookbar are needed, make
sense, and should be done (John)
+ appreciate a toolbar dedicated to simple tasks with the least possible
number of controls, eg. focusing on direct formatting (Heiko)
=> resolve WF
