Tickets/Topics
* Allow targeting of styles and formatting via regular expressions
in Find and Replace
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165725
+ allow targeting of styles and formatting via regular expressions
would be quite ambitious; extension offers most (Ilmari)
+ use case is reasonable but text processor are typically not the
tool that are utilized in this way (Eyal)
+ bug 139585 "All search patterns provided by AltSearch.oxt should
be implemented in LO Writer directly" mad dup of bug 38261
+ trust in extension, whether existing or new (Eyal, Heiko)
=> make a dup of 38261
* Replace the Bibliography Database by a dialog to manually input
new sources and to fetch from online sources via identifiers
for citations/bibliography/references
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121958#
+ replicating Zotero (and similar) requires a lot maintenance (Eyal)
+ prefer extensions for features that are not needed by the
majority (Heiko)
+ fetching data from free(!) online sources into the existing dialog
sounds more feasible (Eyal)
=> comment
* Options -> Appearance new LibreOffice Themes panel redesign
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164970
+ add system, light, dark to themes and drop the "appearance"
radio buttons; add a checkbox "[ ] Use white background for documents"
(together with all other document colors except app background)
and disable the customization in this case (Sahil, Heiko)
+ If we keep the "appearance" categorization, suggest themes could
be only-dark or only-light, as theme creators may have
theme ideas which only work aesthetically in one mode; it would
not be useful to make them include "dummy" or "filler" colors
for the other mode. (Eyal)
+ prefer single color sets in external themes ie. extensions (Sahil)
+ missing color ie. automatic color will be picked from the system
colors and potentially change with the system theme change (Sahil)
+ mockup with the updated design created
=> comment
* Next week agenda?
+ open discussion (Sahil)
=> announce on the ML
