Charles I have to disagree, I feel that a prototype is the best way to go in regards to moving this project forward, I understand that its a big task and very far from being over. I think a working prototype would allow us to actually have a testing platform in this case a simple UI that can then be refined and improved. Tor on the developers list at this point suggested getting a UI which will open files only at this point, and I think its a good start, and then slowly we can implement new UI's for the various parts of LO and that would be where what you mentioned should be carefully considered.

Hello there,

Shameless plug from my side: I think that Jonathan might be putting the
"carriage before the horses" here , to use an old french word. First,
let's all remember that the porting work to Android is far from being
over. In fact it's hardly started. Second, there has been an exploratory
design job that's been started here, by the UX/Design team, as a set of
concepts for a future tablet, touch-based interface, and I think we may
first want to continue refining and exploring that path before
developing an actual interface.

Simply put: Jonathan's work is rather premature. We have nothing to base
its interface on, and it might be better to keep the UX/Design team
active on existing tasks and to-dos rather than having its efforts spent
in something that cannot / will not work for a long time.

Best,
Charles.

I had looked at think free office, which I know doesnt support ODF but I
am using it more for the UI look. What I noted is that it displays all
the directories in ones devices.

I was thinking instead of doing that, When loading it would some how
index the location of all files and just display all the files that the
user can open with the program, with icons just as you mentioned to show
which program will open them.

What do you mean by directory tree? Do you mean that view where you see the
icon of the document, doc name, when created, what type, and other info all
in one line? Because I hate that view in the desktop.  It's fine to offer
that for the people who want it for some reason. But the default view shoud
be large document previews with the type of doc icon in one of the corners,
and the name under it.

Christopher this is userful, but in a way you are jumping the gun here.

Tor and I discussed yesterday on a good place to start, and I agree with
him at this point its best to get something to where we can just open the
files.

As in my original email I am wondering if its worth making it easy for the
users to open the files by just providing them with a list of all files
that can be opened by LO instead of a file explorer that displays the
entire directory tree.

Hi,

in November I sent this email with a link several suggestions concerning
a Android UI:

Maybe it helps for the current discussion.

Hi,

I would like to make some suggestions for an Adroid UI of LibreOffice:

http://www.christopherstark.**de/extern/LO-Android/Android_**LO.html<http://www.christopherstark.de/extern/LO-Android/Android_LO.html>

Maybe I can put this into the LO-Wiki, but I'm not sure if that works
with regular html-code...

best regards
Christopher
