Tickets/Topics
* Reverse page switching direction when scrolling the mouse in
the print dialog preview
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165371
+ intuition for both, similar to spinedit is upwards more
or, alternatively, pages are stacked and the next is below (Eyal)
+ different in my setup (Sahil)
+ prefer wheel down to scroll down towards the next page (Mihai)
=> do as requested
* Data Provider: Rename "Apply" button to "Preview"
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165679
+ good idea (Miguel)
+ if, at all, it should be "Update" (Heiko)
+ remove the button entirely and update automatically (Mihai, Sahil)
+ similar discussion recently in bug 165229 (Eyal)
+ if removal is not possible we could rename it to
"Update Preview" (Mihai)
=> comment
* On loading a CSV file, don't remember the From Row setting
after application restart
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165684
+ makes sense to remember user settings in general but
some scenarios require the opposite; we could add a switch,
eg. an icon-only button, to let users decide whether to store
or rather apply the stored settings; this would have to be
a pattern also relevant for other dialogs; suggest to place
the option next to the frame label to not manage every single
item (Heiko)
+ provide an option on the very top of the dialog to either
use the detection and all manually remembered "named" settings;
drop the automatic settings memory; only in case of the CSV
dialog because of the detection feature (Eyal)
+ auto detection in bug 152336
+ add a reset button that allows to switch back to factory
defaults (Sahil)
+ like the full memory personally yet never changed the row (Mihai)
=> comment on the ticket
* UI: Add-animation requires adding before choosing the effect
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145029
+ additional click... surprising, frustrating and not necessary;
example by Powerpoint is better (Eyal)
+ adding animation with a category contradicts changing it (Heiko)
+ current solution makes sense to me (Mihai, Sahil, Heiko)
+ previous discussion about animation sidebar in
https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/2021/msg00102.html
=> resolve NAB/WF
* Insert Row/Column buttons should allow for repeating last action
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165616
+ plenty of alternatives (Regina, Miguel, Heiko)
+ disagree as it provides destructive commands too (Heiko)
+ support the request (Regina)
+ uno:Repeat not possible since the action is not consecutively;
destructive action can be undone (Eyal)
+ expect toolbuttons to always work like combobutton rather than
menubuttons; those buttons should always do the last action (Sahil)
=> comment
* Need ability to control alignment of line numbering
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165680
+ line numbers do not have a fixed width, so alignment within a certain
width is not possible; relative to other line number occurrences
is not supported in ODF; same way of aligning on other apps (Regina)
+ LN uses a character style "Line Numbering" that can be changed
by the user but never provides alignment as it is not a
paragraph style (Mihai)
+ numbering is always done with Latin numerals (Eyal)
+ not worth any effort (Heiko, Regina)
+ some users might need the enhancement (Mihai, Sahil)
=> comment and keep the ticket
