Tickets/Topics

  * Add Shape main menu in to Impress
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149643
    + issue: group/ungroup (and other functions) are not formatting
    + proposal: add full Shapes root menu as known in Draw
    + pro: in sync with Draw (Eyal)
    + con: large main menu with more items than other modules, effort for
      documentation (Rafael)
    + minor issue, large consequences (Heiko)
    => do not add it / WF

  * New Feature: Print Preview In Sidebar
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149701
    + to update the print preview probably draws some resources
    + similar to page/slide pane (Rafael, Roman)
      + but those thumbnails are not a full-fledged preview
    + no strong objection but also not much benefit (Heiko)
    => needsDevEval, likely WF

  * The "Protect" section on the Options tab of {Image, Frame, Object}
    Properties dialog should be on the "Type" tab
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149085
    + proposal: move Protection options in case of images to the Type tab
      and make the preview larger
    => reasonable, go for it

  * "Date (fix)" fields updated when copy of document opened
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84973
    + open as copy works similar to templates and updates the date (Mike)
    + don't users expect "Date (fix)" to always have the initial value?
    => make "Date (Fix)" really fix (no change on copy)

  * FORMATTING request enhancement: create formatted Table of Figures
    using tabs before and after index
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148597
    + raised at 
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-to-create-formatted-table-of-figures-using-tabs-before-and-after-index-number/76464/2?u=bva
    + no discrimination between chapter "Chapter No"/E# and "Entry Text"/E
      as known from ToC (Andre)
    => level up ToF to match ToC
