[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2021-Jul-15

Present: Mike, Heiko
Comments: Aadi, Sophie, Olivier, Regina, Stuart

Tickets/Topics

 * Expose "Allow animating images" at the UI
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143202
 * A way to identify animating gif images inside a presentation (or draw)
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143201
   + stopping animations is possible via Accessibility setting (Aadi)
     + new position?
   + not seeing animated gif is a safety/security issue if disabled (Mike)
   + typically settings would be "show only once", "never", "always",
     "start/stop on click"
   + indicator could be a big gray triangle (as known from video players)
 => comment

 * Rename gradient 'border' label to something more meaningful
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143282
   + Threshold, Boundary (Sophie)
   + "Offset" (Heiko) - sounds to me as "shifted somewhere" (Mike)
   + Border > "Distance to edge" (border is an area, a frame with some
     width) (Mike)
 * Rename gradient 'border' label to something more meaningful
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101731
   + Transition, Offset, Midpoint (Sophie, Olivier)
   + "Start/End extension" (Regina)
   + don't see a problem with "value" (Mike)
   + some indicator like a pointing arrow that shows up when hovering over
     the control in the UI would be helpful (Mike)
   + tooltips would be definitely helpful (Mike)
     + border/distance:
       "Defines the distance to the edge of the area where the gradient
        of the transparency starts. The border area itself will take the
        transparency from the edges of the gradient."
      + start/end value:
        "Percent of transparency at which the gradient starts/ends"
  => rename border, add tooltips, keep start/end

 * Spelling - Correct and Correct All is inappropriate
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143287
   + is Change/All better than Correct/All?
   + bike shedding; correct is clear enough (Stuart)
   => agreed

 * Improve handling of configuring table borders in table properties
   dialog (to make it work for multiple workflows)
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143249
   + requirements/user stories first, mockup then
   + Benjamin wants to show a grid on the table.
   + Eve wants to configure the border style using potentially different
     attributes per side.
   + Eve wants to store a configuration and apply in other documents.
   + mockup at 
https://design.penpot.app/#/workspace/35358890-e54f-11eb-b623-4c4b7a420f0b/4f34a020-e552-11eb-b623-4c4b7a420f0b?page-id=4f34a021-e552-11eb-b623-4c4b7a420f0b
   + dislike the turn from 'configure a layout and apply that to one or more
     borders' into 'select where to apply, then do the modification'
   + multi-selection could be done per ctrl+click on the preview; drawback is
     that the attributes can be different, eg visible on/off, and the properties
     pane  should show the actual values
   + let's consider multiple selection per toggle button -> done in the mockup
   => share mockup on BZ
