Comments: Stephane, Regina, Eike, Timur, Jean-Baptiste

Tickets/Topics

 * Add the possibility to save and load custom predefined settings for
   Text Import in Calc
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156879
   + Data Provider could be a solution, though it's experimental (Heiko)
   + can follow the use case (Eyal, Cor)
     + possible solution is to remember the last settings (Eyal)
     + in a first solution we could just remember the checkboxes
     + previous column types could be used if the number matches
     + does not clutter the UI (Heiko)
   + to load presets could be done too but would be a heavy interaction
     and kind of over-engineering
   + multi-selection of columns to batch apply a type is helpful
     too - which is possible in the current version (Cor)
 => remember the last settings, if multi-selection is not sufficient

 * UI Feature Request: Possibility to hide a page like in Impress
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156802
   + can follow the use case (Stephane)
   + always possible to exclude pages on printing/exporting
     to PDF (Regina, Cor, John)
   + against "hide" because of the semantics but agree with
     means to remember a print range (Eyal)
 => resolve WF and suggest to file a new ticket for print range

 * AUTOFILTER : Doesn't work with 2 words like "CP" and "Mi-CP" or "MiCP"
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157878
   + Tools/Options/Calc/Calculate:Apply to whole cells should do
     the trick (Miguel)
   + AutoFilter should be independent of that option (Eike)
   + always compare the autofilter against the entire cell; the fuzzy
     search/filter could be done by multi-selecting *CP* per search
     for CP
 => change the behavior to always apply the autofilter to the
    entire cell

 * PDF restrictions in signed PDF documents
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143134
   + it's normal that you cannot add comments in signed file (Timur)
   + non example for the opposite; signed document should stay
     unchanged (Heiko)
   + some environments exist where the signed document has an attached
     commenting workflow; will ask on the ticket (Cor)
   + it might be a flag to allow comments in signed PDFs (Hossein)
     + possible with Adobe software (Cor)
 => not a topic for UX

 * Ability to navigate via viewing area on charts
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138509
   + good for an extension (Jean-Baptiste)
   + 1. Ability to Zoom in
     + good idea (Eyal, John, Cor)
     + over-engineering; advanced chart functions are better suited
       for specialized tools (Heiko)
   + 2. Ability to Select data range
     + same as above (Heiko)
     + support this too (Eyal, John, Cor)
   + if we want to improve on this area we should include R with
     some libraries
 * Ability to hover on charts to quickly visualize details
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138510
   + we do show tooltips, but chart needs to be in edit mode (Heiko)
   + good idea, maybe worth a META ticket (Eyal)
 => comment

* Tabbed interface: Overflow the tabbed interface to scroll/flip instead
  of a popup
  + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158123
  + Importance of making tabbed feature usable on different
    screen size (Hossein)
  + alternative overflow mechanism has pro and cons (Heiko)
=> comment
