Tickets/Topics

* Rename sort criteria to "A column" for quick access per keyboard + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140290 + have the column character first like "A Column" + -1 (Roman) + very custom solution (Adolfo) + maybe per static label in front of the column (Heiko) + sounds reasonable (Mike) + has also the advantage of a mnemonic (alt+C ) activates the associated dropdown + alternatively ignore "Column" or "Row" on keypress (Mike) + some effort to implement and less elegant than the static label => do it

* Border formatting in Impress and Writer Tables does not consider the selected Border Color + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142541 + color pickers are not context sensitive to apply a setting at    various places; solution could be to make it sensitive and achieve the apply-at-many-places workflow via the double-click sticky mode + not really obvious how it works then + why? (Mike); it should be possible to consider what color is set in    the picker in this particular case + should take into account the other border attributes too (Mike) + likely/hopefully not affecting the usual workflow (Heiko) => do it

* PDF: Export with option Selection does not allow to export slides that are part of Custom Slide Show + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143283 + another option at the print/export dialogs or one more button at    the custom slide show dialog, or WF? + both solutions are feasible and good (Mike, Cor) + solution should allow to export other formats in future too, eg. SVG + custom slide show can have inverted order and repeated slides, which needs to be taken into account, eg. slide# 4,2,4 (Cor) + works when entered as this into the export dialog (Heiko) + we could also auto-select the slides and export this but bug 79262 requests export of selected slides per "Selection" + selection works on the current slide only; combination of inside the current slide plus another one on the slide pane doesn't work + slide sorter view mode could provide the selection export thing + user expect the selection from where print/export is started (meaning focused) (Heiko) + but focus is lost with the menu interaction; and not perfectly clear for the user (Mike) + would suggest an (dropdown) option at "Selection" (Mike) + advantage of automatically inserting the numbers at "Slides" in the print dialog allows to modify it (Heiko) + in favor of another option in the print dialog as it is better to understand by the users (Mike, Cor) + Bug 40163 complains that a selection means to just hide all other elements but to export the full slide + If someone needs a single object, other export options are available. + after all an object in PDF needs a page to stand on      + so the behavior makes actually sense (Cor) => bug 143283: add another radiobutton in the dialogs with a dropdown to     pick the right slideshow => bug 79262: add dropdown at Selection with "Objects on Slide" and "Selected     Slides" => bug 40163: resolve WF/NAB
