Yes.  For now it's the indicator in the status bar.  And (as I

Hi all,

@Christoph:

Well, that was the case some versions ago - then the current behavior

customer feedback targeted at the Sun OOo UX Team that people wish to

really saved. So here its not about real logic, but about people to feel
"safe".


If that was the case, then it would have been a better idea to focus
on the following things:
* get document backup/restoration reliable enough for everyone
(something like backup-as-you-type maybe)


So, I agree with the idea itself.  But for this to work comfortably the 
save operation must be fast enough (since backup just means saving the 
current document somewhere on disk), and that's the hard part.  Actually 
calling this "hard" itself is a massive understatement, but I won't go 
into the details.


Having said that, making the load/save operation faster is always our 
priority.  It just takes a long time to achieve it (i.e. in units of years).



* make sure, Ooo doesn't crash (and if it crashes, that it doesn't
take all opened documents with it – for instance, similar to how
Chrome separates tabs)


So, the technical description of this is to "put each application in a 
separate process", which Chrome does.  This is one of the things I've 
been very much interested in personally, but comes with a steep 
technical hurdle as well.


That said, someday I'd like us to give this a try, perhaps when all this 
effort to clean up the code base etc. settles down a bit.  This would 
also solve many others issues that we currently have in our code base, 
not just the issue of crashes.  So, to me, this is a goal worth chasing.

You can achieve the same thing with the status indicator in the status
bar.  You just have to point your eye to a different spot.

A grayed out icon is no feature other than to convey the fact that the
action associated with that particular icon is disabled.  A save icon
being disabled does NOT equal a document is modified; it simply means
that the save action is disabled.  No more, no less.

There is another reason for that.  Document not only store its content
but also view properties, but a change in the view properties doesn't
trigger a document modified status.  Here, view properties include

This is a setting because of the presence of those users who wish to use
the save icon as an indication of document modified status.  To me
that's a mis-use of the icon but this practice is widespread in some
circles.

It's disabled by default only because we wanted to preserve the old OOo
behavior.  But I have been asked about enabling this by default several
times in the past.

I also had private conversations with folks who asked me about enabling
the save at all times.  In fact, I myself depend on this very
functionality, in order to save the precise state of the view properties
with a document.

IMO it's dangerous to assume that only a "fraction of the user base"
needs this functionality.  Again, I myself depend on this functionality,
and I've got in touch with several other users who needed this as well.
Given that I don't go out interacting with gazillions of users (I only
interact with perhaps a dozen), this is quite significant.

Also, the majority of applications that *I* personally touch always
enable the save icon.  Obviously there are some personal variations with
experiences here.

At the framework level this sort of model view separation is enforced,
and each menu item, icon, context menu item etc is represented
internally as a "command", which is mapped to an event ID.

Also these commands are what you see in the list of actions in the key
bindings page.

I suppose that answers your question.

No problem.  I decided to jump in because we (the developers) have been

Thanks for the info.  FYI we (the Go-OO team) had worked on introducing
the new UI layout engine as well.  Though that attempt didn't really
materialize, we are very much interested in giving it another go.  So
this is very important to all of us, and many of us have been scratching
our heads trying to figure out what best to do to bring it forward.

We've looked through pretty much all existing frameworks but none of
them fit our need without making major compromise somewhere.  And to be
honest replacing one cross-platform framework (VCL) with another one may
not solve the issue, no matter how good some people believe the
replacement is.

trials and errors, and I don't want us to discuss this over here on the

So, if you are interested in discussing what the implementation should

We don't have any concrete vision of what the VCL replacement should
look like, but making UI definition files XML-based is surely a sane
approach.  In fact, when we attempted to replace it at one point, we did
use an XML-based UI definition format.  Some of these files are still
around in the code base though we are on their way out.

So, yeah, XML-based UI definition format is very likely.

Well, that's a bit hard to come by. ;-)  We do have some code
documentation but it may not be what you'd expect.

http://docs.libreoffice.org/vcl/html/classes.html

It's generated by crawling the source code directly and picking up the
doxygen style comments.  These are very low level details of the VCL
code, and if you are looking for a high-level overview, we don't have
any (that I'm aware of).

>   I think that having

I can tell you it's very very limited.  With VCL, you have to specify
the size and position of each and every control at pixel level, and
there is no automatic layout support that most modern GUI toolkits
support.  For instance, to create a simple dialog with OK and Cancel
button, you need to define

Dialog: size = (200, 150)

OK Button: pos = (10, 180); size = (80, 15)
Cancel Button: pos = (100, 180); size = (80, 15)

and so on.  It's painful enough to design a very simple dialog, imagine
how much pain it would incur when designing a complex one...

But don't let this implementation limitation distract your design work.
Sometimes it's better you don't know the implementations. ;-)

Yes.  Different approaches are taken by different cross-platform apps,
and there is no one best approach to this cross-platform GUI situation

Interesting.  BTW, building LibO without GTK dependency should be
possible by simply setting the right build option (in theory).  So,
anyone who can build it can try it.  The core of LibO does not depend on
the GTK libraries the last I checked.

FYI, that's precisely what we do today.  We do pull colors from the
native desktop, and we do even render widgets using native calls, but do
our own layouting, which isn't all that great and doesn't make the app
feel and behave like a native app (IMO).

Yes, this is a good idea, and I like it a lot.  That would greatly
enhance the visibility of this icon.

The only issue is that, implementing it would take a little extra
effort.  So what I'd like to do is to just leave the icon behavior as-is
for 3.4 (but update the icon images with yours), and look into
implementing timed feedback that you are proposing after the 3.4
release.  I hope that's okay.

Like I said, I like the idea of a little animated feedback that you are
suggesting.  So hopefully we can implement that at some point.

So, for 3.4, I guess we should take the left and middle ones?

BTW, let me know if the icon is ready to be checked into the master

The application uses the alpha (transparency) values of the original png
file, so you can incorporate transparency into the original icon file.

BTW, the new icon looks very sexy.  I appreciate your effort and
artistic sense on making this icon. :-)

If it involves something in my area of expertise, then please put me in

the developer list in CC is what I would recommend (or prod us directly
on the dev list).
