--- Comment #19 from [email protected] --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #18) > Sounds good but leaves open why adding is not possible. Yeah. This can/should be improved. >"To add a new Arrow Style, first select the shape in the document to be > added, then open this dialog and press Add. Just to be sure. The first sentence is ok? The second sentence was motivated by the following facts: (a) "Draw a closed shape, but not a custom shape" in comment 6, which implies that not all shapes can be added, and (b) the empirical observation that the "smiley face" and "octagon bevel" could not be added, but (c) many unexpected shapes could be added as, including "heart", "lightning bolt", a freehand drawing using "Freeform Line", a line itself, even an image (or more precisely, its form), etc. ==> might be nice to give some indication that under some circumstances, "Add" is not possible. But I do not know the circumstances under which adding is not possible. [e.g., could not understand meaning of "custom shape" in (a) and experiments, such as in (b) and (c) did not yield a satisfying hypothesis.] If someone can explain why (@Regina?), then I will be happy to mention in the extended tooltip. Otherwise, as an alternative, I propose to include the following (now rewritten) sentence: For selected shapes that cannot be added, the Add button is not active. Reason: Even if it does not explain why (and so far it seems that only a few cases do not work), it at least indicates that it is expected that some shapes cannot be added as an arrow style, which may enable/motivate some users to try another shape, and/or reduce suspicion that something is broken. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
