Re: [Libreoffice-qa] Contact from LibreOffice-Box website

[Yousuf 'Jay' Philips]

Hi all,

Yes many users on the Mac Appstore have mentioned that in their reviews.

Here is one example: As per the other review on printing-I am having the 
same challenge. landscape mode is stuck?? On the print preview page I 
clicked on ‘more’ then ‘brochure’—[I am a messer when computers don’t do 
what I think they should do] & it flipped the page. I still don’t know 
why the PDF button is on? I’ll play with it some more and re-review.

To me it just sounds like a bugShould ask on the user list to see if
anyone knows tricks or workarounds but if it's a bug, they'll just have
to report it and wait (and it could be a long time before it's fixed).

[Libreoffice-qa] Minutes of the Design Hangout: 2016-02-26

[Jan Holesovsky]

* Present: Italo, Stuart, Heiko, Jay, Kendy, Jan-Marek, Tomaz, Akshay

* UI changes integrated the last week:

+ Add a "filter" to Insert > Field > Other > Cross reference tab (Akshay)
+ ".uno:LineToolbox" command into writer (Gulsah)
+ UI for classification (Miklos)
+ Update of .ui files in Option (Adolfo)
+ More menus converted to xml (Maxim)
+ Slide preview fixing (Rishabh)
+ Fix paper cuts in animations sidebar (Bubli)
+ Tweaks in tango and galaxy icons (Jay)
+ Native Gtk3 popup menus (Caolán)
+ Vertical alignment buttons for shapes in the sidebar (Maxim)
+ Move accessibility relations to .ui files (melikeyurtoglu)

* GSoC - Special Character dialog (Jay/Heiko)

+ should we design implement our own or use OS specific charmap dialog
  https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37229
  https://www.kde.org/applications/utilities/kcharselect/
  https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Apps/Gucharmap
+ char map app is not necessarily bundeled on Linux (Heiko)
+ Adolfo worked on the task; in our dialog some features are missing 
(Stuart)
+ Proposal for high-end dialog made last year at 
http://user-prompt.com/de/libreoffice-design-session-special-character/

+ from the development point of view, would rather have own dialog, than 
having to maintain code
  for ~5 platforms (Windows, OS X, LXQT, KDE (Qt4/5), Gnome2/3, etc.) 
(Kendy)
+ agreed, good to add more features to our dialog though (Stuart)
+ it is not a single dialog / API, but external program(s) on those 
platforms (Jan-Marek)

+ conclusion: let's stick to our dialog, and promote improvements in it for 
the GSoC

* GSoC

+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas
+ needs to be filed in until the next Tue
+ Heiko will add the ideas there (/done)
/done Area Fill, Table Styles, AutText, Bibliography
+ Samuel added Notebookbar (Jay: good, Heiko: better define 
requirements first)
+ we should file in the tasks that are completed from the design point of 
view
+ Table styles, Customization dialog, Sidebar, ...
+ design session stuff : table of contents dialog, symbol dialog, fill 
dialog, print dialog
  
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6qJrVIa0SAlcFV0Q2lWMmdUcW8=sharing
+ done
+ redesign template manager
  
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JRPNdeHQpgqiqJv8LW-RHOjtHN8EMX0qK98QBnr10Yg/edit?usp=sharing
  
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ri2jznhcQmCtk3cVygEhwN7pi8FkbIVV_OvRQce_n6Y/edit?usp=sharing

+ Jay: add a Styles usability improvements section + list the various 
things to implement to GSoC-next ideas
+ Ahmed, Jay: Brainstorm about some nice / more styles for Calc
  https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/boards/1/topics/493
  [longer term - maybe better to add to the GSoC Styles task?]
+ Jay: Impress also needs more default object styles (only 2 are 
available)

+ concern about the Notebookbar task (Heiko)
+ it is supposed to provide the ground work (Kendy)
+ yet it talks details that were not decided yet (?) (Heiko)
+ propose to move it to a different section, if it is for the ground 
work (Heiko)
+ good idea, will move it to porting / platform (Kendy)

+ potential student akki  joined the the hangout, Stuart explains the 
concept (Stuart)

* Cell borders interopability (Jay)

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79787 

+ would be good add new line styles, so that we can map between Calc and 
Excel 1:1 (Jay)
+ currently the 13 Excel types map to 7 LibreOffice styles (Jay)
  
https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=121956
+ suggested to add new odf/libreoffice styles, so that we can map 
perfectly (Jay)
+ the interoperability problem comes from us... (Jan-Marek)
+ the solution isn't the most optimal interoperability fix (Jay)
+ loses the information - maps to something that is not true (Jay)
+ at least this improves roundtrip (Jan-Marek)
+ suggest to create a follow-up bugreport (Kendy)
+ Jan-Marek will discuss with Jay (Jan-Marek)

* Draw-related survey (Heiko)

+ published and continued (will close on Friday, 19 February)
  
https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2016/02/07/what-do-you-expect-from-draw/
  http://user-weave.com/survey/b0edf831f89d4d23bb3d6b6ba3e574a9?12
+ Results  
  https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByWdNpQKVjM8bF91TGJCUXlFUk0

+ many participants, over 1200 valid answers

+ intermediate results at

+ textual analysis work in progress at 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GjpudJOJQUlWh7AHGpB5iAEk086SQ6nkAzkKOXPJL84/edit#gid=0
