Present: Sahil, Lynn, Eyal, Heiko
Comments: Regina, Cor, Stuart

Tickets/Topics

  * EDITING:  Edit >Links is always gray/deactivated & (thus) impossible
    break link to media file using
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48294
    + simply fix the bug
    + mockup from bug 131198 is hard to follow (and does not need to
      be done in order to fix the bug) (Heiko)
   => bug

  * Choice of pie/donut orientation & initial angle should be offered in
    Chart wizard and/or on the sidebar
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163489
    + setting is on Options tab in the properties dialog of a
      Data Series (Regina)
    + entirely off-topic / out of scope for the wizard; there are much
      more relevant properties; WF (Heiko)
    + there is sufficient space and we present 3d options (Eyal)
    + 3d and variants are only available in this dialog (Heiko)
    + direction should be on the sidebar (Sahil)
    + nice to give people options (Lynn)
   => do it

  * "Delete Columns" and "Delete Rows" labels now include gratuitous
    comment "(for unprotected cells)"
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163725
    + make the additional text depending on whether a protection
      is active (Cor)
    + wonder if renaming the commands is a solution- or just NAB (Heiko)
    + the command state responds properly and is disabled if not possible
      and execution fails an error message shows up
    + info box could be more informative like
      "The range top be deleted contains protected cells. The operation
       cannot be completed."
    + the protect sheet dialog might tell "[ ] Delete columns with
      unprotected cells" (Sahil)
    + documentation needs to explain the workflow (Eyal)
   => revert bug 136003 and solve it at the protect sheet dialog

  * Community Discussion: UI changes for 'LibreOffice Theme' GSoC project
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163620
    + like (Stuart)
    + get inspiration from other tools like IDEs, mostly to not invent
      wheels again (Eyal)
    + name the main entry Appearance rather than Personalization (Eyal)
    + Remove next to Add is not needed and could be better Modify (Sahil)
    + extensive list of theme previews might be confusing and could
      be replaced by a simple list or a dropdown (Lynn)
   => go for it
