On (a) (Powerpoint) - For Linux systems, you also have the option for
OpenOffice/LibreOffice for powerpoint files, so it might be an option
to change from 'PowerPoint' to 'Open/LibreOffice' for Linux operating
systems.

 I think "Display" would be confusing with the output display, but maybe
 call it "Interface" instead?

Re: [openlp-dev] Re-arranging Settings

2017-10-01 Thread Olli Suutari 
Other ideas to consider:



a) Hide OS dependable settings, for example the ”Bypass X11 Window manager”
could be hidden on operation systems that do not use it and PowerPoint
settings could be hidden on Mac/Linux.

b) Add ”Search” and create indexes for searching the settings.

c) Automatically use the best settings for ”Players” based on operation
system, bundle VLC core with OpenLP and remove the tab.


d) Remove ”Use given full path for mudraw or ghostscript binary” since pdf
support is integrated anyways?


e) Combine ”backgound color” settings from ”Players” and ”Images” into one
setting.


f) Make the ”popup window” larger/scrollable and move some of the settings
to the same page and divide them to sections.


g) Move ”Alerts” setting to the ”Alert Message” window itself.


h) Add ”Show advanced settings” button/checkbox for showing/hiding more
settings?





Good Sunday to all,

Display and Interface are technical words so we need a more "user friendly"
word to cover this but the idea seems sound.

I think dump the advanced and have General, Display and Interface

Monitors, logos, unblank dispaly when ..., mouse cusor, ignore aspect
ratio, bipass x11 on the display tab

Background audio, application start up, the rest of application settings,
ui settings, alternating row colours on the interface tab

and the rest on the general tab

Hi,

Perhaps there is scope for a "Display" and "General" tab and dropping
"Advanced"?

So Monitors, Mouse Cursor, Display Workarounds and any other relevant
settings could go on Display tab and the rest on General. Might still not
be the ideal, but just throwing one idea into the pot.
