Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Who on Earth is the LibO installation target?

Hi all,

Sorry for top-posting. I am on the phone.

Anyway, just want to pick out a single from all your points: the single quote correction.
The reason why it's off by default is because it is not clever enough to tell when an apostrophe 
(as in Rock 'n' roll, in the worst case with exactly that spelling) or an actual quote is meant, as 
the key pressed in either case is the same. The compromise then of course is that we get neither 
typographically correct... which seems to lead lots of people to misappropriate accents for 
apostrophes.

In my FR installs the Stylist and the Navigator are installed but not
displayed. I know very few users who actually know these tools exist and
what they are meant for, not telling about displaying or using them :(

As for the default settings, I have been wondering since the very first
times of OOo 1.1.1 why the French apostrophe is not setup (the setting
is available) while the French quote is. As a consequence most French
users use the wrong character and create faulty documents. The automatic
setting would be soooo easy to add...

Other lacking settings: display non-printing chars, activate the backup
copy, prefer the richer LibO dialogs, adjust zoom settings.
In Writer: add an Insert from file toolbutton, set the Table toolbar
position non-floating.
In Draw: add a Fontwork toolbutton (the Fontwork toolbar can't do what
this button does; or did I miss smthg?)

Optionally, some extensions can really help, like AltSearch.

Well, what I'm writing is about FR installs, though some common
denominator could be found between languages (Stylist and Navigator come
to mind).
