Minutes
Dec 08, 2016; 5:47am Heiko Tietze-2 Minutes of the Design Hangout: 2016-Dec-08

Present: Kendy, Samuel, Heiko

Tickets

* Bullet lists defaults + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92657 + Option 1: Replace OpenSymbol as default for bullets by text default + Option 2: Reduce bullet size so that spacing is not affected by symbols + code pointers needed -> no easy hack, needs investigation

* Inserting shapes in Draw shouldn't require multiple clicks (Jay) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90748 + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39268 - Double click is the Libo way to do things repeatedly (Stuart, Cor, Heiko) - not really accurate across all apps - Hard to find out for new users (Jay) - Workflow is different and in Writer usually more than one object is added where Draw rather is to manipulate what has been added (Stuart) - better to teach users about our good solution (single click = single action, double click = sticky) (Heiko) - create proposals with pro/cons for the next meeting so a simple decision yay/nay is possible

+ Writer/Calc (Cor via email) - Single click causes multiple inserting of objects. Draw/Impress: - Single click causes single insert of objects. - Double click needed for multiple after another.. For both: - The last draw object is selected and can be resized; - The cursor becomes/is normal with click on document area. Or after ESC. Now my consideration: - it's easier to click in doc, or push ESC (to end insert mode) than to      discover double-click. - So, unless the default behavior in other similar tools is as we have in Draw currently, I'm fine with a change as Jay suggests. + how about an module dependent option whether or not the double click is active by default (Heiko) + if it's burning, can have it as a GSoC project next year (kendy) + run some research and compare with other programs (samuel) + ask the community; blog post/quick poll (Heiko)

Tasks

* Color palettes + Add Windows colors? (according ECMA OpenXML) + ugly palette, unsorted collection of colors -> leave it open for the community + close https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87541 + not decided + How to go ahead with standard.soc + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87538 - new default -> postpone for Jay being in the meeting
