Minutes
Present: Eyal, Shu, John, Hossein, Heiko Comments: Dieter, Stuart Tickets/Topics * Several Calc menu commands are available in Read-Only mode + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155434 + it's about to grey out items that cannot be used (Eyal) => makes sense * Edit Index Entry dialog: Replace "Apply" button with "Reset" button and make "Close" apply automatically + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155471 + consistency is prime, keep Apply but add Ok (Dieter) + no indication when changes are applied (eg not in case of Close) => warn if Close is pressed without Apply/Next (Eyal) + how about labeling with "Previous <= => Next (and Apply)" (Heiko) + no urgent need for adding Reset (Eyal, Heiko) + Apply could be removed (Heiko) + we could disable Apply if no changes are made (Eyal) + Apply is handy if one doesnt want to press next/prev (Eyal, John) => resolve WF and suggest follow-up tickets * Option to Disable Overwrite Mode (Insert Key) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155561 + standard behavior, Overwrite is shown in the statusbar (Heiko) + draw attention the first time users do it (John, Eyal) + MSO has an option to enable insert/overwrite (but doesn't show any indicator, neither as different cursor not in the statusbar) => show a warning dialog the first time overwrite is enabled; okay button must not be in focus * How many copies you want of something should not be hidden in the print dialog + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147514 + the dialog remembers the expanded state (Stuart) + the dialog is too large, expanding by default makes the content scroll; moving single items into the non-expandable part breaks relation (Heiko) + swap include and number of copies (Eyal, John) + check display size and expand the section and resize the dialog if possible (Hossein) + changing the number of pages is a more common use case than include odd/even (John, Eyal) + keep collation in the collapsed section (Eyal) + rename first "More" to "Collation and Paper Size", and the second "Pages per Sheet" => do this * Set paragraph style drop down is able to create new styles, which is unconventional (and not fitting the label) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155729 + disable style creation; just search for styles (Heiko) + similar for fonts- typing another font name is possible even if it doesnt exists + open a dialog and ask users what to do; disagree with removal (Eyal) + MSO has no similar option for styles but for font names- it shows a dialog if the font not exists whether it should be used anyway + It had in Office 2003, but not now (Hossein) + function is useful if the sidebar is not open (replaces the somewhat hidden "New from Selection") + allow renaming the current style? (Heiko) not needed (John, Eyal) => show the dialog with yes/no option
