Minutes
Present: Roman, Cor, Heiko

Discussion

* Meeting in general (Cor) + invite people personally + regular meetings are a good idea (Cor)

Tickets

* Alignment of images + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126857 + new command to center vertically and horizontally requested + seeking for a nice term + too many options as suggested later in the ticket is too much for the menu + "Center on Page/Slide" or "Equidistant" (Stuart) + I agree with an idea. (kompi) => "Center on Page/Slide" (and rename Center to Middle, Centered to Center)

* Find & Replace should optionally also make use of AutoCorrect single or double quote substitutions for easier keyboard search entry + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126752 + would require to doit in a general way, ie. all autocorrected terms are found when searching for the basic version + maybe an option is nice but then working in the dialog only - disagree F&R new options. let's will be simply (kompi) + technically challenging as the search has to be run twice + users may expect the search to result in <>n found results of <'> and a messagebox that the document contains of     autocorrected places with <"> and a button to search for this term (Heiko)   + simply show a message that this input might have been autocorrected by (Cor)   => let's go with the simple solution

* Add option to show 'Apply Style' menu in plain text + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62926 + extra option or combination with existing + unclear what controls would be affected (Stuart, c9) + afraid of too many options if there are more controls (Heiko) + Tools > Options > View is across modules and "Show preview of styles" would be Writer-only (Heiko) => run a poll on the blog/ml (Cor)

* Ability to forbid the use of direct formatting + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53847 + user customization is king, no need to ship another UI variant + do as MUFFIN (Stuart), yes but per extension then (Heiko) + bad idea, users should to have the ability to choose (kompi) + prefer the internal solution (Cor) + alternatively, introduce an option to switch from Formatting (toolbar) to Formatting (Styles) as the default + or close the ticket as WFM since we have the styles focused TB (and maybe kill the direct formatting options from this TB) => close as WFM if we change the existing toolbar

* Rework of Safe Mode dialog + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120269 + https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/Zj8nsETFTyPgeEB + https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/msg09116.html + pls reply to my comment on the ML (Cor) - will do (Heiko) => a few comments, keep it boiling for another week
