Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ever confirmed|1 |0 Status|NEEDINFO |UNCONFIRMED --- Comment #6 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #5) > This is work in progress during one of the current GSoC projects. Please > find the duplicate and annotate this ticket yourself. I searched all of the Writer-Comments bugs and could not find a proper dupe. But - bug 38295 is about the same problem; with this bug arguing for a particular solution. Would you like the discussion to be moved over there? Also, GSoC project link please? (In reply to Stéphane Guillou (stragu) from comment #4) > The only way I can imagine this is by having the new comment sidebar being > undockable to be placed wherever the user wants, like the navigator. I think I'm opposed to this. You see, the sidebar never holds part of the document; and comments are part of the document. So I don't think it's legitimate to edit comments in the sidebar. (Although I can't deny that a vertical area for commet editing will have appeal for many.) > I can't > imagine contributors developing and maintaining a _third_ way to view > comments. 1. Then just this way please :-) Why? Because bubbles are alredy placed vertically. Horizontal is what's really missing. 2. Actually, development-work-wise, the extra work for another mode should be far less than the work for the second mode. > Some questions: > - the comment panel is now resizable, so can accommodate more text - isn't > that sufficient?; No, just try resizing the comment area in the document I've attached. There's still basically just as much overhead due to the bubbles; and each comment gets scrolled separately; and you get large mostly-empty bubbles so, space is wasted; plus if you enlarge significantly you may not be able to see the entire width of the actual document etc. So no. > - how do you envisage a bottom panel linking comments to their anchor in the > document? Or by "I don't want to see silly dashed arrows", you mean you > don't want to see _any_ linking? Highlighting: The commented area highlight color changes when you're editing its comment and perhaps vice-versa. Configuration for turning this off perhaps for those who find it distracting. And no dashed lines from balloons to the comment. > - do you have an example / screenshot of an application that does it this > way? MS Word's reviewing pane (at least, what it used to be at some point). Will add a screenshot. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
