[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2021-Jun-17

Present: Heiko
Comments: Stuart, Thomas, Mike, et al.

Tickets/Topics

 * Impress: change Custom Slide Show toolbar icon to dropdown
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142613
   + add UNO command / widget that lists custom slideshows and run it on click
   => no objection, do it

 * Want character width scale button+mini-dialog
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142827
   + no requirement / little benefit (Stuart)
   + +1, users want quick access (Thomas)
   + -1, too many features spoil the party; only frequently used
     attributes need to be on toolbars (Heiko)
   + should be available but not shown by default (Eyal)
   + unclear if "text-scale" can be a percentage of default font metric
     to horizontally scale either a Text run 'T1' or to a Paragraph 'P1' (Stuart)
   => subject to provision of percentage, let's do it

 * Split the current "Help" menu into three separate top-level menus
   (instead of one) to separate help content, bug-reporting content,
   and 'about' content
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142830
   + no benefit (Stuart)
   + no user has been struggling with the Help menu (Mike)
   + first, root level items should organize the menu not give
     access to seldom used function; introducing an inbuilt bugtracking
     feature might be interesting but not at a different (sub-)menu (Heiko)
   => WF

 * There is no provision to export/import user-settings
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52387
 * Make configuration extensionizable
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59493
   + exporting the configuration makes not much sense (in contrast
     to what said in bug 59493, c5 (Heiko)
   + topic is delicate regarding privacy/security
   + unclear use case; for personal use the registrymodification.xcu
     can be copy/pasted right now
   => WF
