[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2021-Aug-18

Present: Maria, Heiko
Comments: Sascha

Tickets/Topics

 * Analysis of the Calc survey
   + preliminary results are promising
   + todo: improve colors, margins, add "Unknown" at Likert chart,
     SUS per expertise
   + todo: text analysis

 * Calc: Counter-intuitive "Default" context menu for comments makes
   them blue and changes font
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138842
   + remove Default command
   => no further comment, do it

 * Right-click to group columns and rows
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141327
   + having an explicit function-key (F12) covers the group/ungroup feature well
     enough, rather vote to remove the hide/show entries from the context menu
     and give them a related short-cut e.g. Ctrl+F12 / Shift+F12 (Sascha)
     + shortcuts are nothing without a menu where you learn it
     + having different methods to reach a goal is good practice (Heiko)
   + also the context menu entries are named "Hide Rows", "Show Rows", "Hide
     Columns" and "Show Columns" while the main menu entries are simply named
     "Hide" and Show"; IF the context entries are keep up the main menu should
     changed for consistency (Sascha)
     + Simply Hide/Show can be done when the Column/Row entry comes before,
       it's the contextual variant of the label
   + also you can group the same rows/columns infinite times, that is clearly a
     bug and should be fixed with a if-range-already-grouped::than-ungroup
     statement; this would allow the use of the same short-cut (F12) to
     group/ungroup and free Ctrl+F12 e.g. for the hide/show feature (Sascha)
     + different topic
   + adding two (actually one in most scenarios) entries to the context menu
     doesn't hurt and educates people to consider grouping rather than
     hiding (Heiko)
   => keep topic alive

 * Add option for preserving aspect ratio of an Area Image fill
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138119
   + open the area settings with Set Background Image (Heiko)
   => good for a tentative patch
