Anyway, I will now create a mock for the UI and discuss this on the UI
list. Once this is done, what would be the best way to add the new UI
functionality ? A friendly push in the right direction would save me
quite
some time ;-)
You should design the dialogs nowadays with Glade. We are switching
from our old dialog descriptions to new glade xml files. Caolan wrote
a nice wiki page about widgetllayout
(https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/WidgetLayout). While
it focuses mostly on transfering old dialogs to the new format it
should give you a basic idea how to create a new one. If you need one
of the custom widgets that we have somewhere in the code or other
customization of an existing widget we can help you implement that.
I'm with you on new Dialogs. I could convert the existing dialog
(ChartTypeDialog?) to glade, but it seems a bit ambitious at the moment for
my knowledge in LO. Maybe later after getting more experience with simpler
dialogs. I saw Caolan's talk on FOSDEM and it seemed not too difficult for
the simpler dialogs.
