[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2023-Jul-25

Present:  Sahil, Rafael, Hossein, Heiko
Comments: Stuart, Miguel, Felix, Eyal

Tickets/Topics

 * LibreOffice shouldn't try to import the comment style from DOCX files
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161657
   + define the attributes line spacing = single, indents = all 0,
     on the Comments PS (Heiko)
   + alignment = left might be needed since justified looks odd but
     works only for LTR
   + spacing, font color, highlight (Rafael)
   => do it

 * Duplicate Options Menu (“Field”) in Tabbed Interface
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161557
   + no issue with the duplicated 'Field' button (Stuart, Rafael)
   + remove Fields from References (Sahil)
   + some users might be familiar with the current design (Hossein)
   + no urgent need to remove as long the space is sufficient (Hossein)
   + it is also available in the context menu at References (Rafael)
   => remove from the context menu but keep both at the tabs

 * Suppress editing of comments from other authors
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161978
   + adding a remark with the last editor (Miguel)
   + comments are nothing special (Felix)
   + completely block editing; with means to override (Eyal)
   + user can change the name anyway; WF in the narrow sense (Rafael)
   + having too many information in the classic comments clutter the UI;
     perhaps have an editing history in the upcoming sidebar (Sahil)
   + annotation require storage properties; sounds like
     feature-creep (Hossein)
   + maybe use track changes; currently not tracked (Rafael)
   => TC sounds as a good solution

 * Add option to set default Wrap for inserted pictures
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157684
   + idea is to introduce "Dynamic" image position depending on
     left|center|right alignment of paragraph
   + current default is Optimal placing the image left/right
     depending on the amount of text
     + previous discussion in bug 87720 c43/44
   + using styles allows to change the default per
     document/template (Hossein)
   + if we decide to provide options for many/all options rather
     than forcing people to use templates, or vice versa, we should
     be consistent (Rafael)
   + we should go with a solution that users are familiar with /
     know from other office suites - and MSO has it under Options >
     Advanced > Cur, copy, and paste (Hossein)
   => introduce an option
