------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jan 24 21:32:12 +0000 2008 ------- OK, it is waaaay later now (Target milestone = "OOo Later")... might be time to reconsider the layers management in OO Draw. Has been 4 years since first posted about version 1.0.0. Not much has improved on the layers tabs in 2.3. It really can be a pain working with lots of layers: 1) The user cannot just grab a layer tab and move it to reorder layers 2) In fact, the user cannot re-order the layers at all! There is no method. 3) The names of the layers are supposed to appear blue when the layer is not visible. Most of the time it just doesn't work- they are not blue. I open documents with non-visible layers all the time and the tabs are not blue- but if I "modify" them and change nothing and click on "OK", that ONE layer tab will temporarily have blue text. 4) Having to turn on/off visibility of several layers is very time consuming, you have to double click on the tab, wait for it to appear, change the visibility, then "OK", then do it all again. Why not have a right-click on the tab with a checkmark for visibility and printability? 5) Tabs should be color coded for visibility/print/lock. For example, blue text if not visible. Red background if locked. Yellow outline if not printable. It might also be nice to have a separate, multi row/column dialog for controlling all layers at once, as CJ suggested (under view->layers). (Compare to the way the GIMP layer dialog works.)
