Sometimes (not often I think), people get presention files (example), and they not always know what it is : Someone can have sent it to them without explaining "Hy it's a presentation" or "Hy, it's a text document". THey just get the document. Just for this reason, and because I think it should'nt be very complicated to add, I think there should be an "Any" section on the left. Then, I think it's important to choose the order of the items in the two parts (it can reduce the amount of time to find the good format) : I think that order them by "popularity" is good : Document type part: - Text Document - Spreadsheet Slideshow - Presentation Slideshow - Web Document - Drawing - Formula File format part : - Open Document - Microsoft Word 2003 xml (.doc) - Microsoft Word 2007 (.docx) As you can see, I indicate file extension as it's always significant for a lot of people.

Re: [libreoffice-design] [Fwd: [Bug 41000] FILEOPEN - Filter Selection dialog needs structure and preselection]
Hi Astron, hi all! Astron, thanks a lot for picking this up :-) Very cool mockup ... how did you make it - it looks like being a LibO native one. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=51412 May I comment your numbered notes? * (1) Yep, usually LibO tries to be rather neutral ... the OOo style guide LibO is based on doesn't say it directly, but comments decisions with stuff like the "style is clear and professional, not chummy or informal". * (2) You're referring to "Document" ... tough question. I don't know whether "Document Type" (left side) and "File Format" is an improvement. * (3) I also like "Open" better, since it clearly says what will happen - much better than OK. By the way, the very last dialog styleguide (attempt) put the Help on the left side ... Additionally: * I'm thinking about the window title. Gnome says "Name of command that opened the dialog", but that doesn't work here. Maybe "File Format Selection" explains what it is about? * The dialog has now a very good structure - but might it be convenient for people to have an "All" on the left side that contains all file types? Thanks a lot! First and last mail for today, since my day has been incredibly busy ... see you tomorrow. Hopefully :-) Cheers, Christoph Am Montag, den 19.09.2011, 22:30 +0200 schrieb Christoph Noack: > Hi all, > > since I lack some time ... could anybody pick this up and work out a > straightforward proposal?

[libreoffice-design] [Fwd: [Bug 41000] FILEOPEN - Filter Selection dialog needs structure and preselection]
Hi all, since I lack some time ... could anybody pick this up and work out a straightforward proposal? That would be cool! Personally, I don't know what the technical constraints are, so you might need to ask the developers what kind of information is available by the filters (their capabilities, e.g. "I'm a pixel graphics filter.")
