Hi everyone, First of all I want to congrats for your work with LibreOffice design and propousals about. I'm just a simple "expert" user of Openoffice.org (before) and LibreOffice (now), I've migrate from MS Office to OpenOffice/Libreoffice in three spanish companies, a total of about 60 terminals with Libreoffice (in differents OS). Second, I would like to say sorry about my english... ;-( (I'm working on it). And third ... I have some improvements sugestions about the user interface:
1. One of the main complaints I have receibed from the users of these companies is: "Libreoffice is very slow charging the first time..." NO COMENT, one litle solution: I think it could be good to have by default the autostart load libreoffice libraris option selected. 2. The current color selector is very limited, In our company we need to use the corporate colors and of course these colors are not in the default color selector. We know we can add it in Tools/Options/Libreoffice/Colors, but its very unconfortable because I have to do in a lot of computers, and every time we update the Libreoffice version, the colors have gone!.... I think it would be more productive to change the color selector. I'd like to have several tabs when I select a color (for a table, text, background, ...), at least: RGB selector, CMYK selector, HTML color code, Circle color selector... (I add few images: colors_cmyk.png, colors_roda.png, colors_paleta.png) 3. A Zebra button: I think it could be nice to have a "zebra" button in writer, calc and impress for autoformat tables with two colors and make more easy readible the data. The procidemt could be the next: 1º We select the cells we want to format of a table. 2º we push the zebra button and a color dialog apears. 3º we select the color we want (this could be the dark). 4º then the cells we have selected have changed the background color alternatively by rows, one row with the color we have choose and the next with the same color but up L level (L of HSL color value "lighter"). 4. CALC: Multiple easy filter selector (multiple_selection_filter.png) 5. BASE: I think it must be easy to add several table sources for the same .odb file, for example: one table indeed in the same odb file, other from mysql server, and other from a xls file.... (linked_tables.png) 6. BASE: It could be easier and quickly to create buttons with a similar MSAccess wizard that automaticlly generate the code. Create button: for reports (open a report in preview mode, print a report, ...) / for records (erase a record, create new record, duplicate this record...) / for forms (close this form / open other form / ...) 7. I tried to send you all these recomendations by the wiki or the main Libreoffice official site, but I didn't find the right place! I think it could be awesome to creat one space at one website called brainstorm where the user can make suggestions like these ones. If this site exits it's not easy enought to send the improvements suggestions Tanks for read me and sorry If this mail shouldn't have been send to you.... I would appreciate you send it to the right person.
