[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 38295] Many margin comments/notes are complicated to use
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38295 --- Comment #30 from Gauthier --- I'd say that this feature is very important! LO is a great piece of software but working with document with lots of comments is still a big issue. It's hardly possible to follow. The visible part of a comment is tiny (you have to scroll within the comment which makes it hard to follow); comments are not aligned with the text, etc. I had to open the doc with LO online to be able to work (which handles the display of comments a bit better, though also has issues). As much as I resent Google, LO could do with getting a little inspiration from Google Docs hen it comes to usability. Since collaboration on docs has become very normal, I thin it should be a priority for LO to address the redesign of the comment function. Adjusting the width of the comment column/pane seems like good first step to address issues with the display of comments. In addition, making it easier and more dynamic to select comments in a doc so it's more aligned with where the comment relates to in the text (again, in docs with lots of comments it's currently difficult sometimes to find / select the right comment). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Mi pensas, ke solvo estus duobla (ambaŭ fareblas samtempe): 1.- Permesu plilongigi la larĝon de la kolumna komento ĉar la monitoroj estas tre larĝaj nuntempe. 2.- Permesu meti plurajn tipojn de videbloj, elekteblaj en menuo de la titolo de komentoj kaj en la vidbenda menuo por diversaj manieroj vidi la komentojn, la formoj povus esti: a) Vidu montratajn komentojn b) Vidu nur unu linion kun + por aperigi la komenton, kiun ni elektas. Triono estus povi movi la komentojn por flosi kiel balonoj sur la ekrano, krom povi ekspansiiĝi aŭ retiriĝi per + butono sur ili. Dankon English: I think that when there are many notes with a long text on each one, it is not legible that some notes are even put on another page regarding the text to which they refer. I think a solution would be twofold (both can be done at the same time): 1.- Allow to lengthen the width of the comments column because the monitors are very wide nowadays. 2.- Allow to put several types of visualizations, eligible in a dropdown from the comments title and in the view menu for different ways to see the comments, the forms could be: a) See displayed comments b) See only one line with a + to display the comment we choose. A third would be to be able to move the comments to float like balloons on the screen, in addition to being able to expand or retract with a + button on them. Thank you. Español: Pienso que cuando hay muchas notas con un texto largo en cada una, es poco legible que incluso se pongan unas notas en otra página respecto al texto al que hacen referencia. Creo que una solución sería doble (ambas cosas pueden hacerse a la vez): 1.- Permitir alargar el ancho de la columna de comentarios porque los monitores son muy anchos hoy día. 2.- Permitir poner varios tipos de visualizaciones, elegible en un desplegable desde el título de comentarios y en el menú ver para distintas formas de ver los comentarios, las formas podrían ser: a) Ver comentarios desplegados b) Ver solamente una línea con un + para desplegar el comentario que elijamos. Una tercera sería poder mover los comentarios para flotar como globos en la pantalla, además de poderse expandir o retraer con un botón + en ellos.

As solving that problem makes things more > difficult, I only focused on coloring / styling in this post. Two things to consider in this context: 1. Making the note font constant regardless of document zoom: The notes are not part of the document, and should just keep their font size. This will mean that as you zoom in, you'll only need to consider the notes for less of the text. 2. Allowing notes to take up more of the viewport: Not just a bar on one side, but as there are more and more notes - bars on both sides, and eventually the talmudic style of surrounding the main text with the commentary, see: https://people.ucalgary.ca/~elsegal/TalmudPage.html of course, that doesn't have any graphics relating the point in the text to the point in the commentary, but you can see the small central area and the large area surrounding it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Example: = - The attachment writer_comment_UI_example.html shows a living example of the description below (without lines for comments, because they are difficult - The attachment writer_comment_UI.png shows an example of the transparency of unfocussed comments. Not selected / focussed comment: - transparency of background / marking / text is 50%. - marked text has dashed border Comment selection: == - Definition: - mouse cursor is hovers over comment area. - mouse cursor is hovers over marked text. - transparency of text marking border becomes 0%. - transparency of marked text becomes 0%. Comment focus: == - Definition: - typing cursor is inside a comment - like selected comment, but: - border width increases. - dashed lines are solid. Further improvement There is still a problem, if comments and text are so far away, that both cannot be shown on screen.

So you mean a reply to a comment. I'd say this question has to be covered in a different ticket. When you reply on a comment it creates another comment that is directly attached to the previous (whereas all other have some margin between). And it is labeled as "Reply to...". Not too bad. But your example shows clearly the need to deal with long comments, the scrollbar is awkward. To keep this ticket an easyhack I'm still in favor of putting the issue into another ticket. However it would be an idea to enlarge the selected comment to show 20 lines or so (and shrink it down to 3 after deselection). And that might be solved when someone touches the highlight on selection thing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
