Hi all, [Note: please do a reply to all, I've added Heiko so he also has your feedback]
I would like to have your feedback to help a decision to have standard tooltips for the dialog's control. Currently there is none. Issue is: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104413 Discussion during ESC: + Tooltips (tdf#104413) + have ‘simple’ tooltips for all controls by default? Additionally to extended tt with help installed + pro: support for beginners, good ux, postive a11y side effect + con: huge overhead to enter good tips and to translate + terrible startup performance problems from XPATH nonsense (?) + Markus had a prototype to extract & mirror these tooltips (Kendy) + with plan to keep XHP as help files; consider it again. + should we add a tooltip on an individual item ? + good usability to have tooltips consistently everywhere + student hasn’t finished the help on this topic. + happy to add simple tooltips to .ui files (Sophie) + adding five word tooltips to everywhere is ok with translators + there are 111k labels on widgets in .ui files (Michael) $ git ls-files | grep '\.ui' | xargs cat | grep label | grep -v 'gtk-' | nl + 500k new words, 100 langs -> 50Mb of extra install AI: + come up with a clear proposal with input from l10n (Sophie, Heiko) + best to apply some common sense wrt. Every control having a tooltip (Cloph, Sophie) Heiko as added a document with different proposal here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18u_DcmjyIPS1HzxhLEMu_1teFL-1uGGs_Xjfpg1l4d4/edit?ts=5852ccdc The proposal is not to put them everywhere, but when it helps the understanding. My opinion (but it's mine :) is that they are very helpful for users and should be added when UX see them needed (and I trust them on that) even if it gives us some work on translation and grow the files. Let me know what you think about it :) -- Sophie Gautier [email protected] GSM: +33683901545 IRC: sophi Release coordinator The Document Foundation -- To unsubscribe 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/l10n/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
