[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2022-Jun-22

Present: Cor, Heiko
Comments: Regina, Mike, Eike

Tickets/Topics

 * EDITING: The "Increase Indent" and "Decrease Indent" increment step should
   be the width of 3 space chars (using the default style font) when working
   in an xlsx document
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144991
   + indentation should depend on the default font size at three spaces
     + makes sense (Mike) and is what MSO does (Eike)
   + change the indentation when the default font is altered
     + rather not but offer new the defaults at the interactions (Mike)
   => no-brainer if it's a standard

 * Prototype UI for new Inking feature
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146968
   + proposal to improve drawing capabilities (essentially bug 89369
     with a different approach)
   + functional difference apparently, unclear for other objects (Cor)
     + the "styles" are probably just combinations of attributes (Heiko)
     + combining frequently used attributes such as color and seldom like cap
       style into one "style" is probably not user-focused
     + there is bug 127348 related to this incl. a mockup (Heiko)
   => NEEDINFO

  * UI: PNG export dialog has radio button doesn't allow 'dimensions' or
    'DPI' to be set both
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144195
    + setting one attribute affects another; works for me (Regina, c8)
    + suggest a toggle button between mutually dependent settings meaning
      "auto adjust setting" (Regina)
    + afraid of side-effects, commented on bug 115464 incl. a mockup (Heiko)
    + welcome the suggested modification (Cor)
    => do it

  * Comment box arrows should be visually separate when pointing to the
    same line
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86888
    + don't show any lines but highlight in author's color on focus (Heiko)
    + MSO cannot do zero length comments and selects the whole word,
      would be a prerequisite to see a comment without the pointing line (Cor)
    + show the line only when a comment is selected (Heiko)
    + NAB/INV since the comment becomes framed and the dashed line solid (Cor)
      + bug: dashed lines may become solid depending on spaces (Heiko)
    => resolve INV

  * No way for Glow and Soft Edge settings in drawing styles and in any dialogs
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136123
    + mockup attached
    + if possible, we should remove the enabled checkbox and bind shadow on/off
      to distance >0;
    + like to have the default (Cor), maybe the other way around and on/off
      for the two options
    => do it
