[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2022-Nov-23

Present: Eyal, Cor, Bogdan, Shegs, Heiko
Comments: many

Tickets/Topics

 * Navigator: State of outline headings is lost when navigator is
   closed then reopened
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152116
   + not worth the effort (Heiko)
   + would expect the state to remain on collapse/expand (Eyal, Cor)
   + perhaps not so difficult (Eyal)
   => remember across the session; needsDevAdvice

 * Tab key should ignore indent
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150848
   + respect the usual tab stop like indent on first line = 5cm
     should not make the tab jump to 5cm (Eyal)
   + tab seems to "simulate" indentation and dilutes the workflow (Eyal)
   + if the tab stop is defined with, for example 1cm, the tab moves
     to exact this position (Heiko)
     + tab stop larger than the indent end at the indent
   + abstain (Cor, Eyal)
   + tab to indent for zero tabs sounds like a convenience feature (Heiko)
   => resolve NAB/WF; perhaps worth to add a note to the documentation

 * Support changing the default sequencing of multiple animations
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151324
   + multi-selection is effective and easy to understand, against this (Heiko)
   + suggest to have it as an option (Eyal)
   + can follow the idea (Cor)
   + just remember the last used value? (Heiko)
     + in line with other workflows (Cor)
     + would be satisfactory; and should not revert by some circumstances (Eyal)
   => go for it

 * Add a protection-against-deletion checkbox to table/index generation dialog
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152111
   + same request as last week (change the default) and WF for me (Cor)
   + another checkbox does not hurt usability, but not convinced (Cor)
   + workflow is pointless, rare scenario (Heiko)
   + not so rare, convenient, and regenerating is simple (Eyal)

   + Navigator makes deletion very easy too, still WF/NAB (Heiko)
   => close this bug as WF, open the previous and comment there
   + maybe a good idea to check MSO

 * TOC for chapter should start at current level+1, not current level
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152075
   + start the chapter-ToC on flexible level/outline
   + nice to have it based on outline levels (Bogdan)
   + unclear use case for both level and outline position (Heiko)
   => will summarize the comments
