Hi Cor, hi Cedric,
since I currently consume much of the discussion in (sometimes thin)
"slices", I'd like to ask some questions ... I'm currently a bit unsure
about what kind of feature we really talk.
At the beginning, I thought we talk about an optional visualization for
the headers ... but it seems we discuss a completely different behavior
for editing / accessing features.
So, do we talk about:
* when editing headers/footers, then a new visualization shows
what's getting edited:
* new line and "Header: $PAGE_STYLE" are shown
* the remaining document parts are grayed out (a bit)
* editing headers/footers starts via "double click" on the desired
area
* during "normal" document editing, access to the headers/footers
is not possible
If this is correct, then a "-1" from my side to the whole package. I'd
like to understand more about the issues we currently run into (e.g.
whether the preconditions - partly very different from MSO interaction
design - support/enable such a change). One tiny example are the current
gray separator lines - being shown all the time, although the content
itself is only editable via a (hidden) double-click. Furthermore, do we
run into accessibility problems? ...
@ Cor: I still don't understand that well how to access such features
apart from the available daily builds. Can you please provide a hint how
to test it (since I use VMs, any kind of Linux is okay).
Sorry for lacking proper understanding at the moment ... and maybe
delaying things. But I did not get the idea of the change in the mail
yesterday. But, I'll promise to help to make this a cool feature :-)
Cheers,
Christoph

But hey, how would I be able to see a feature in the master, that has
not yet been finished and pushed :-)
I already pushed a lot of it before sending the email here. My commits
are to be considered as a basis for a better work but that doesn't mean
you won't see the feature at all ;)
Indeed, can work with it :-)
Some comments:
1. Could it be possible to change from main to header/footer by single
mouse click, in stead of double. (I know the other program uses double
click, but looks superfluous to me)
2. Refresh problem when height of header/footer changes.

3. grey-tone does not toggle when changing content with Ctrl-PageUp
(PageDown for footer), and I can use the cursor here, but not the mouse
:-)
- HeaderFooter_CB_03.png
4. It was new for me to see (but maybe missed it from what you wrote)
that the line only is visible when the header/footer is activated (by
double clicking ATM).
Then the visual challenge ;-)
5. For the line: I would advice the same color, or something that is
close to the text boundaries.
Reason: the line is wider, does change width with zooming, and is
dashed. I have nothing against the nice blue color, but it's just to
much as default within the current UI, IMO.
Page break
= = = = =
6. For the hard page break: now it is blue – my advise would be light blue.
7. It is not such a problem that the break is partly covered by the new
separator, since that only is the case when header/footer is active
Problem with the page break though: when spacing of the header/footer
is zero, it is not visible (covered by the inner boundary of the
header/footer apparently.)

Maybe some of the quirks have been solved already in your dev-code.
So far this non-expert advise ;-)
Maybe Christoph is interested to see some special situations? Pls drop a
line later this evening, and maybe I (we) can help.
Cheers,
