--- Comment #18 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #17) Since 7.5 [1] Templates can be filtered via Filter list box: [All Documents|Text Documents|Spreadsheets|Presentations|Drawings] Now we only need to be able to filter templates by, what, eight other criteria? :-) I made a list yesterday on bug 165331. > I would suggest that with default 'All Documents' mode we only show the > locally installed Templates. That keeps the UI simple for the majority of > user. > Do you mean a "get more" bar, which loads more templates into the same pane is too complex? > And only when a Filter selection is made while in the SC Templates mode, > then expose a button action to 'Go Online' with a "Get more templates of > this type" tooltip--or something similar. Note that those are two very different actions. "Go Online" implies opening a browser, or a dialog etc.; "get more means just showing more templates in the same pane - which originate in online template sources > And that would launch the users default web browser onto the Extensions > (extensions.libreoffice.org) with filter applied. Much as we are now doing > for the new 25.2 Appearance theme extensions. Oh no, that defeats the whole point of this bug: _integrating_ access to templates. > Still insist that the overhead of exposing the extensions website onto the > backing window of the StartCenter would not be functional and would be a > horror to implement and maintain cross platform. We won't expose the extension _website_; we'll just get template information not just by iterating a local directory, but also by iterating a remote one (or a remote meta-data file etc.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
