Created attachment 180749

Mockup #2

Coming back to this topic.

I think we agree on the general layout. Regina mentioned that we have 12 border
lines in total (depending on single/multi selection) and Telesto is unhappy
with the workflow. In fact there are two scenarios: a) (most common) apply the
same attributes for some borders such as the surrounding edges, and b) set
individual attributes (for example red on top, blue on bottom).

This second mockup shows two alternatives. First we could present toggle
buttons for all 12 options plus some combined defaults. This makes the UI quite
busy. So I wonder if we allow to set attributes for a few common combinations
(similar to what we have today as Presets) and have all individual settings
accessible per dropdown.

To deal with the potentially large dialog I suggest to place Padding and Shadow
(forgot to change the label Width to Distance) into expanders and use a
scrollbox for the attributes.

This makes it complicated even further. Having a selection with different
applied properties gives no advantage, only another state that user needs to be
aware of. Also it destroys a "define then apply by selection" workflow, because
every selection act would simply create such a heterogenous selection set; and
only "select then define" workflow would be possible, with resetting individual
controls from "undefined" to some value; and when user decides to add one more
border to the set, every setting needs re-definition again.

> Another topic which comes to mind: resetting all borders back to default.

The *potential* (only needed when we implement true table borders) "reset to
default" is easily implemented by the fourth radio button/drop-down: "reset to
default" in addition to "none/visible/unchanged" mentioned in comment 26.

Two different statements in sentence :-). Multi-selection is complicated,
totally true. 

Rare case of multi-selection. Not sure if there is no desire or simply not
possible. Is surely sometimes desire to define the border width of all orders
(with different formatting applied). Especially if you have some pre-formatted
table (done by someone else or years ago) which does different border width for
one reason or the other).

It should be possible to put everything which isn't the same in tri-state mode.
(So border red, blue select means tri-state). This rather inherent to the type
of selection (which is visible in the preview). So not finding this really
unexpected result (but maybe biased me, tri-state is surely less common as
feature)

Again, this topic inherently complex. Surely not all wisdom here (or experience
with all the design principles) 

 

Another topic which comes to mind: resetting all borders back to default.
The current line arrangement present also mixes two properties
1. Choosing line arrangement
2. Resetting existing border styles

There are cases where you want to reset all borders to default (Default
template style). However you have to press Line arrangement for that. But this
can by accident also enable /disable borders too. Or visa versa. you select
select outer border line arrangement which disabled the inner (formatted
border) too.

This will always end up in confusion. Example: left border is blue, right is
red, and you select both - the color picker cannot show the current state
(correct UI solution is to have some indetermined state like known from
checkboxes, which is not perfectly clear to many users). 
The same for Mike's example with the 3rd state for Visible. If only one border
is taken into the current attributes you know for sure what attributes it has.
IMHO, we complicate the workflow with the (IMO) rare use case of
multi-selection.

2021-07-19 Thread bugzilla-daemon
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143249

--- Comment #26 from Mike Kaganski  ---
When we discussed the mockup from comment 15 on the call, in the beginning, we
indeed discussed some workflow change. But in the end, our discussion came to
this mockup, which intended to *not* change workflows, but instead to make the
actions more obvious and accessible.

Current (and proposed with the mockup) workflow focuses on one central idea: at
any point in time, all *selected* borders have the same set of properties
applied. This is not only difficult to change, but also is undesirable to
change. This also implies one important property: *both* orders of operations:
"select then configure" and "configure then select" result in the same set of
properties applied to the selection.

The border settings definition is necessarily complex, because we try to fake
"simple property  setter" for something that indeed is complex: multiple
separate objects (up to 8 individual borders, with several elementary
properties - color, width, style - for each). An alternative would be having
too many individual simple controls - and that would be even worse.

The proposal has the following advantages:
1. Introduce individual buttons to *select* individual borders (previously,
that was only possible by clicking on parts of the preview). This allows to
have *accessibility*, as well as UX improvement by hinting people who don't
guess where and how to click on the preview.
2. Moving presets to an own panel, potentially allowing to define own presets.

The problems with the mockup:
1. The "visible" should be kind of radio button (or a drop-down), with these
options: none/visible/unchanged (to match current options). Visible means the
controls below enabled; other two modes mean controls below disabled.

Loosing the ability to apply apply attributes to many positions at once is a no
go for sure. Not 'doubtful' at all ;-)

The point is that don't see why how this should be a problem. at least in my
'model'. Which I attempted to described in comment 20/22. Except you possibly
one click extra being needed. To press the select all borders template. Prior
to application of border style. This could even be removed, however there might
be some negative side-effects).

The interactive dialog isn't necessary per se. It can also be written
description. Simply to clarify, and making sure the dialog isn't bound to much
by a certain workflow. 

-
Enabling/disabling borders must be untangled from selection. And you might need
border selection templates (selecting existing borders) and border enabling
templates (next to manual selection/enabling/disabling)

With issue - overlap cases where 'border selecting template' includes borders
which are disabled. Where my logic would go, what isn't there can't be
selected. 

But well you can also say, the template is selected, and border modified, it
should be applied to previously un-enabled border.

[And at this point the desire for undo comes to mind] Reset does reset all
changes.. Mostly you want to go one step back.  However this bit of an problem
with the overall design of dialogs. This type is undo rather specific (or maybe
it isn't)?

There are tools that allow to expand a dropdown on click, eg. Axure. But this
can also be done with two static pages via Penpot. Haven't done it for this
dialog and it's never fully functional, for example responding to the color
picker, setting the preview correctly, providing the presets functionality etc.
requires code.

The question is rather if people can be convinced of changing the workflow and
loosing the ability to apply attributes to many positions at once. Doubt this.

Out of curiosity.. are there also tools to handle the interactional aspect of
mockup. The static - layout mockup - is kind of lacking the way people will
interact with the dialog. Or the way UX seeing the interaction process going. 

The design mock-up obviously giving hints, but well this also matter of
experience.. Which is the reason for me 'mocking' (posting bugs)on the current
design. Not having tremendous trouble with with the position of the element of
options available. Not saying it could be done differently. 

However my major concern is get certain things done in efficient manner.
Without really counter intuitive ways of getting things done. Or having the
follow pretty narrow sequence.. and if you make a mistake, you have to start at
A again (undo a single step)

Yes, horribly


> 2. Right now you define the line style first and apply this to the positions.
Well this is my view not totally true (mostly it is though). 

The case you're describing is a table with starting with border NONE, I think

Insert 1x1 table (Default table style). Go to border tab. Picker a border
color.. This is instantly applied to all borders.. There is no distinction to
defining position and application. Which is surely very efficient if you want
to that, but you have to be really careful if you don't want that to happen

---
There is also the case where you can select first, and apply next. 
Insert 1x1 table (Default table style). Single click one of the existing
borders (you're know in selected state). You can now edit the properties of the
single border. So first 'select' next apply. However this only works for a
single border.. If click on the next border (assuming a default table style),
you don't start with 'selected state', but in reapply border with this setting
mode. If you have a table with border none

---

Something totally different topic. Say you have a workflow defining borders,
next formatting. Step A defining borders, you want to have by clicking inside
the border picker tool (say left and right border), step 2 apply a formatting
to all of them at once.

The left/right isn't possible if you do this way. You have to define the border
formatting first an next click/left right.

However the same workflow does exist in other cases. If click on a template
alignment style this exactly what's happening. (A) Defining borders first (B)
applying border formatting. Which kind of top down workflow. (where in other
instances it's more working from bottom (defining borders) to top (selecting
where to be applied)


--
Something else I want to mention. No clue if this is handled in the current
mock-up Simply to mention. 1x1 table (default table style). I want the right
border red and the right green and the other borders disabled.

I can start with: (A) defining red border first. The confusing part here.. All
borders become red (which you don't intend to do, really distracting). You can
press the Present, set no borders (which fixes that). Or you pressed Present,
set no borders first (with the result you can't see the formatting being
applied, become borders are disabled) 

Next step you click the left border.. Fine. So you go the next step, right
border green. So you start pick the green color the the color picker. And you
notice.. green being applied to the left border (which want to be red). Argh..
wrong workflow. So you revert back to red. You click the left border (which
becomes red, but you didn't want it be red at all, which is distracting,
because have green in mind, and seeing red (literally an sometimes also
figuratively). And you change it to green. 

Next you re-consider.. you want left border being blue. You change border color
to blue (argh.. no I not the right). So revert back to green. You click the red
border again.. Which becomes green (whereas where mentally mapping, select the
'red border' But well red border has become green. Next you pick blue (ah..
that's what I intended).

---
Another question.. Are there also interactive mockups. Is hard to distill the
workflow from a dialog still. I'm not having much problems with the current
visual design. I'm having operational issues. So issue with interacting with
the element in the dialog, to get the result I desire without much frustration.

Current setup is build around applying the same to multiple borders. Because
those borders are active, or set by line arrangement button. And you can easily
change a single border formatting.

Making inner cross blue and other borders red is more of an exercise. You can
partly rely on table line arrangement button (to select all outer borders for
example). To prevent to click every border one by one. Next you have to click a
inner border (you can't activate both borders first, no you have to do first
select the horizontal (or vertical) border, next set color from red to blue and
next click the vertical border (or horizontal). Cases where I mostly activate
both borders, realize that blue only applied to a single border, and having to
click on the inner border again. Where I obviously click little to much in the
corner, and applying the inner blue again to the outer red border. And there is
no CTRL+Z so you have to again select the (say left) other border and set it
back to red.

But well if you used some specific color red (without much alertness, because
needed 'some' red and that one looked fine), and you have to reapplied, you
might pick the WRONG red (next want to see what picked on the other border)..
But well that's not possible, so you start reformatting again. You can't use
line

These presets are not a selection but a full configuration with all attributes

Yes and no. Thing is that we mix selection and application. Right now you
define the line style first and apply this to the positions. That can be one or
many. And I guess this third state was introduced as kind of undo.

Even with my proposal that turns the workflow around into select first and
apply per setting the attributes, we run into trouble with multi-selection.
Consider one line is blue and the other red. What I wrote to explain the
behavior is hard to understand for users. And now we have to balance the demand
for applying an option to a variable set of positions vs. simplicity/clarity of
interactions.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143249

--- Comment #20 from Telesto  ---
Thinking about this a bit more.. one of my complains the current triple state
of the border tool (where they sequence of clicking being inconsistent in my
perception) A example: The first clicked (present) border will be 'selected' if
I change some of the formatting.. and click a different border the change gets
applied)

So, I'm inclined to get rid of triple state. However really objecting to be
able to click into border picker tool as such.

As I don't desire create a mock-up from scratch if there is some design already
having the element.. So i'm using attachment 173608 as reference (but not
following MS way either)

The idea:
* Borders can only be toggled on/off by de borders presented around the border
picker (see screenshot). See last bullet point why this maybe isn't needed at
all
* You can click in the border picker itself (as currently), but only for
selecting borders (not for toggling the on off.. Those are the buttons on the
outside.
* You might be able to drag drop borders to other border area (technical
possible?). So say have pre-existing dashed border at the left, and want the
same thing at the right. You drag the left border to the right, and this the
same border gets applied there too (with may CTRL+Drag for not copying but
moving the border there). 
* Border tool is capable to select multiple borders with CTRL+CLICK so you can
select multiple borders at once (and manipulate). With keeping the unique
aspects
* If you select a single border, you will see the current settings of that
border (and able to modify)
* If multiple borders are selected with different formatting.. at button is
present to reset clear 'DF' of the borders. Which means or disabled border/or
default border setting (undecided)
* Assuming a selecting inside the 'border picker'. It's possible to de-select
all borders.. So you can modify the 'border settings' and press toggle on a
border (to apply the style only for the new border). If there is present border
a toggle off/on effect replaces the current formatting (different workflow,
same effect)
* There are pre-set present for selecting border area's
* An alternative way to activate borders (by not clicking on the toggle
around), is to select disabled borders, and simply start formatting (changing
line style for none to enabled; similar as by textbox or other drawing
objects). [So it might not even be needed to have on/off toggle buttons around
the preview]

--- Comment #19 from Telesto  ---
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #16)
The design is interesting; refreshing: positive surprised. 

However... My core concern is the workflow. The task oriented view  (you may
add persona to it. So Benjamin has mental idea of a certain formatting, how can
he do that).

Simply putting some cases forward:

Case A: 
Say you have a 1x2x table. You intend to make the left 'left and right' border
red. And Top bottom border dashed. And increase the border width of the middle.

How many steps are required to do this? And is there an order in which you have
to handle it?

Case B: 
You have pre-existing (border)formatted table. Say the formatted table you
created above. You want to change the line style of the left/right border
(without changing the color). Is it possible to do? How many clicks are needed?

Case C: 
You want to get quick overview of the border settings of the existing borders..
How do I do that? Difference in border thickness between 0,05pt 0,15pt are
sometimes hard to differentiate on screen (not even starting about visually
disabled people)

Case D
Take again the table of case A, now I want the change the line width of those
borders at once.. without touching the other formatting (color/dash) of the
outer border. And excluding the inner border. Is it possible to do so?

For the record: My ancient MS word struggles on these tasks too :-).

My initial impression (or misreading) is that the mockup has less capability's
compared to the current, click at the preview thingy. The current concept is
not that bad, my core issue with it is the implementation. There are annoying
quirks and particularity's. Like the preview being to small, evilly sensitive.
lacking outside buttons (to avoid inside clicking). 

And also lacking certain functionality.
*It's lacking an option to select multiple borders (manually and/or by
present). So you can change formatting of multiple borders at once. So you can
change the border width of all borders while retaining the dashed look of some
borders it the selection.
* Being able to select a single border and see the current formatting in the
edit fields.

It's quite possible I odd table design capability's :-). I'm running into
issues with MS Word too. And modern versions discourages manual formatting
(fiddling with formatting).. likely for a reason.

Different workflow should be fit into a design which is workable for all

--- Comment #18 from Regina Henschel  ---
The mockup has no way to change the inner lines only.

Currently you can set all four padding values at the same time and you can see
the current values of all four paddings at the same time. The use of a drop
down as in the mockup would be a regression.

The term in the shadow style is "Distance" not "Width".

The current dialog has the presets "Set Outer Border only" (which removes the
inner lines if any) and "Set Outer Border Without Changing inner Border". The
mockup has only the preset "Frame".

Mockup

Requirements are simple:

   + Benjamin wants to show a grid on the table.
   + Eve wants to configure the border style using potentially different 
 attributes per side.
   + Adrian wants to install LibreOffice for visually disabled people too.

Not yet implemented:

   + Eve wants to store a configuration and apply in other documents.

The mockup takes the known design principle with a list of presets at left, the
attributes in the middle, and a preview right-hand.
The line style Position is a multi-selection toggle button, one selects all the
border lines that should be modified. In contrast to the current configure and
apply (on click at the preview) this workflow would apply the modifications
immediately. Meaning if some positions are selected (toggle button active) and
the vertical left line is added now, it will become blue. To keep the left
line's color (and use it also at right) one has to uncheck both horizontal
first. If none is selected the attributes are taken from the selection.

In the first iteration, the alternative approach was to apply line attributes
only individually via dropdown. This idea was rejected as regression to the
current solution with multiple selection.

Previously it was possible to click repeatedly on the preview and disable a
border line. This is replaced in the mockup with a checkbox. The preview is not
clickable.

For the padding a dropdown allows to set the distance for all sides (currently
done via "synchronously") or individually for each side. Thus, the dropdown has
5 items.

The mockup is done with Penpot, publicly available at
https://design.penpot.app/#/workspace/35358890-e54f-11eb-b623-4c4b7a420f0b/4f34a020-e552-11eb-b623-4c4b7a420f0b?page-id=4f34a021-e552-11eb-b623-4c4b7a420f0b

This is kind of recycled global redesign/ improve bug table borders bug. 

So comment 1 is only a minor aspect (original report here).. Comment 14 one of
the 'bigger' issues I personally perceive being present.

Heiko preferred single report. The bug report as such isn't quite useful to
distill the issues (and the buttons of comment 1 don't fix everything). 

I leave it up to Heiko go give a summary of the possible issues with the
workflow. And which ones can be addressed and which (comment 4) can't because
of different workflows..

I think number of border formatting cases should be defined. (Workflows). 

Regarding modification of table borders, row borders, borders of selection of
cells, single cell. And differ between changing existing borders, or starting
from scratch. Modifying existing things is also quite a hassle.

The UI needs to allow for example:
Set left border to red, 4pt, dotted
and right border to green, 4pt, dotted
and top border to no border,
and bottom border to black, 3pt, double.

I do not see, how that will be possible with buttons.

If that severs all scenario's currently covered by LibreOffice: looks good :)
