Hi Rafael, thanks for coming here (and for still caring about the template manager you created)... apologies for the rather long list of bugs and imperfections below.

I have quite a few things to add to this list, not all of them completely design-related, actually – I didn't get around to reporting them all... * Using "Set as default" makes LibreOffice crash when trying to use the newly set default template (Try with one of Impress's presentation backgrounds) * https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61396 – Can't edit template that is not in already in the template manager [Design ideas there, but not yet final – Input wanted] * Can't selectively copy over styles from a template into current document (regression, don't know bug no.) [design needed] * Can be opened multiple times (confusing?) [Is that a bug?] * "Sort by name" has large Galaxy icon (looks like Alex's instead of default) amidst smaller Tango icons * Size of thumbnails within folder rectangle changes when clicking on/ hovering over folder * Down-arrow should jump to last item when there is no item immediately below current item * No minimum size for dialogue resizing set * Toolbar doesn't look like a toolbar (white background, no line below it) * "Refresh" seems unnecessary when working locally (might have a use remotely) [Is that a bug?] * Tabs blink incessantly blinking when moving mouse over them * Creating a new folder should not need a dialog (just add a folder "Untitled Folder" and let the user edit the name of it in place) * It should be possible to create a new (empty) template (editing would happen via the edit button, but there should be some more help, like displaying big Edit button on thumbnail) [design needed] * Renaming templates is too easy (just click once on the name of the template) * No confirmation shown for "Set as default" (add some sort of tick or star?) * Resetting default templates is a bit complicated – maybe we can remove the submenu there since the category is already chosen [is that a bug] * Can't search/sort/refresh/reset default as long as a template is selected * Pressing Esc should not close window when search bar is open (should only search bar) * Maybe a more obvious way of closing the search bar might be helpful [is that a bug?] * Unnecessary whitespace at below of template names – grid should resize a bit more flexibly * No continuous scrolling in template list * No big, obvious Open button * Selection state persists across tabs – user gets irrelevant toolbar actions Regards, Astron. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
