[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2022-Aug-31

Present: Cor, Heiko
Comments: Roman, Rafael, Stuart, Tristan, Wolfgang, Eike

Tickets/Topics

 * Rename character style "source text"
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150619
   + go with "Monospaced" (Rafael)
   + merge "Source Text, Teletype, User Entry" into "Source Code" (Stuart)
   + use either "Source Code Style" or "Typewriter Style" (Tristan)
   + like "Typewriter" (without style) (Heiko)
   + prefer "Monospace" (Cor)
   => do it and try to remove unnecessary CS

 * "Copy version information" button in About dialog should have
   description label
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143994
   + implemented intentionally as icon-only button (Roman, Heiko)
   + tooltip is sufficient (Cor)
   => WF/NAB

 * LineStartName / LineEndName "Symmetric Arrow" vanished
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149917
   + equilateral triangle with the expectable directions,
     asked for in https://ask.libreoffice.org/t//79362I for a macro (Wolfgang)
   + reading bug 126648 it seems we renamed Symmetric Arrow to Arrow Short
   + macros may rely on a certain style and we should investigate if some
     solution per code (Cor)
     + Only then we can judge if it is reasonable to solve (somehow) or not...
     + strongly against such a restriction to keep _any random_ style; even with
       some code solution we cannot update the design
   + relying on some style (that can be deleted by the user, btw) or any other
     volatile content is wrong here; the mentioned macro needs to be written
     more carefully (Heiko)
   => reopen, comment, needsDevAdvice

 * CSV (Text) import dialog: Improve discoverability of Column type setting
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150652
   + a) keep label enabled, b) auto select first column, c) show down arrow,
     d) show a static tip, e) switch from Standard to Text... (Heiko)
   + switching to Text has been refused; power users wants to load data without
     interruption (Mike)
   + a) makes sense, all the rest is not needed (Cor)
   => recommend to do a) (easyhackable), no strong objection against c)

 * [UI][RFE] clearly visible hint or tooltip when entering a non-number
   Conditional Formatting condition
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150271
   + "+" is just no valid input, not much we can do (Eike)
   + corner case, let's keep it as it is (Cor)
   + to allow complex input such as formulas makes no sense (Heiko)
   => resolve WF/NAB
