Are you sure about this one? It doesn't look like you could have 
multiple images on one slide with this dialog.


Yes. It is in the Drop-Down in the Album Layout section. I changed the 
labels a bit in a recent patch, hope that will be clearer. Now the 
options are:


Slide Layout
1 Image
1 Image with Title
2 Images
4 Images

Hi Mattias,

thanks for that, these are good suggestions. Would you create a 
Whiteboard (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards) for 
this?
Then, after having a good Design discussed and approved by the Design 
team, a developer could step in and implement those things.


Some suggestions you may add to your design:

 * Choose a background color
 * Shuffle pictures
 * Rotate picture

Thanks
Samuel

Hey, take a look at this one:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Create_photo_album.png

Pencil file: 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Create_photo_album.ep.zip


This one makes a lot more work for the implementator, but it might be 
worth it. It's mostly standard stuff, but what might be somewhat more 
costly (as in developer time) is rendering text slides and in-preview 
text editing. If someone stands up only to implement parts of this, 
then there is no problem making it simpler if needed.


What is different:
Image previews, draggable, selectable.
Image position per slide.
Text slide preview.

One more note still, if someone uses widescreen projector (and 
widescreen presentation), then of course the thumbnails wouldn't be 
4:3 but whatever the page settings are for the current document.



Regards
Mattias

I created a page. I don't think adding it to list of what is being 
worked on is my call.

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/Photo_Album_Creator

team, a developer could step in and implement those things.

  * Rotate picture

These are cool ideas. Rotating and background color make sense. IMHO 
shuffling would be better suited to some in-app menu so that you can run 
it whenever you need it (e.g to spice up your master thesis presentation 
a little), but I added it anyway to context menu.

Mattias

When it comes to images with title, then I come to think that maybe we 
should strip text slides out altogether. Adding these later is no 
harder and gives you much better control over it. The same goes for 
captions.


2 or 4 images per slide is useful at times and can be done in my mockup 
as well.

Here is how it would look like:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Create_photo_album_4-images.png

As for Keep aspect ratio button, I think we should just always keep 
aspect ratio, question rather is if we want to fill the screen and crop 
some of image or just fit it. In case of 1 image we don't crop it but 
just make it bigger than the screen if needed. Then if someone really 
likes stretched out images, they can always edit them later.

Mattias

[libreoffice-design] Re: Experimental new LibreOffice UI

2013-05-11 Thread Jean-Baptiste Faure
Hi,

Le 06/04/2013 01:30, Keith Curtis a écrit :
 Hi all;
 
 I've written a proposal for a new experimental UI for LibreOffice Writer:
 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:KeithCu

I am not sure to understand well, but it seems to me that you removed
the Navigator, Styles and Formatting and the status bar. If I am not
missing something, that is not only a new design, it is a new workflow
for the end-users.


Best regards.
JBF
