[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2021-Dec-02

Present: Heiko
Comments: Thomas, Stuart, Mike, Dieter, Gerhard, Eyal

Tickets/Topics

 * Column width dialog doesn't allow setting width of all columns at once
   Columns tab of Table Properties dialog doesn't allow setting width of
   all columns to same value
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145738
   + the command Distribute Columns Evenly does the trick (Gerhard)
   + then have it at the dialog too (Eyal)
     + clutters the UI further (Heiko)
   + Adjust Column Width proportionally works well, after Adapt Table
     Width is checked for not full-size table, allowing to have 'remaining
     space'; unclear why the dialog should size proportionally as new
     tables are created accordingly (Heiko)
   => resolve WF

 * Column tab of Table Properties dialog is confusing and frustrating
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145739
   + help is sufficient (Gerhard)
   + many tickets around this topic (Heiko)
   => keep this ticket for the UI revamp task

 * Ability to forbid the use of direct formatting
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53847
   + idea has some benefits (Thomas)
   + per MUFFIN/Notebookbar (Stuart)
   + per template/extension (Heiko)
   + done via "Formatting (Styles)" toolbar (requires to manually
     disable the other toolbars (Heiko)
     + does not cover all UI elements incl. sidebar (Thomas)
   + implement UNO commands to modify style-level character and
     paragraph properties first (bug 107865) (Thomas)
   => no further input, removing needsUXEval keyword

 * add Comments field to Styles
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145518
   + good idea (Mike, Dieter)
   + recommend to show the comment eventually per tooltip at
     the Stylist; so the text should be short
   => do it

 * Improvement - PDF export defaults in Options/General
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54052
   + OP asks not for a particular option but rather all as default values
   + PDF documents are expected as different from each other, ie. one
     requires option A while the other needs B (Heiko)
   => resolve WF
