Why do you rename Freeze to Freeze panes ?
The word 'Freeze' by itself has no meaning. It had no meaning as Window >
Freeze as you are not actually freezing the window. Freeze panes is used in
Excel, but we could use Freeze Rows/Columns if that is more preferable.
OK clear, thanks.
So do you have a preference here?
I think the change is good.
Tools
Cell contents - I miss this. It is not about Data as the function in that
menu.
This was moved and to Data > Calculate as the entries are to recalculate
data.
It is also about AutoInput. So that argument is not correct.
So are the 3 calculate items correct to place under Data?
In fact it is a mixed group, about calculation and auto-Input. And AutoImput is
really a tool :)
We had another discussion on the position of the Tools menu. Do I see that
it is missed here?
No we had discussions about it during the HIG work and decided that Tools
would always be next to Window for consistency of the menu bar.
I brought forward long time ago, that the applied sequence is
File-...-Format-Tools. And all module specific menu's between Tools and
Window. So that was the originally chosen consistency.
(With the sole exception that Table was added in Writer later)
But I do not think that I prefer the one consistency over the other.
Guess my words werent clear when i wrote that sentence. Yes we (me and you)
discussed the issue in the past and then we (me and heiko) discussed it as
part of the HIG. In the HIG we decided that we need to consistency across
apps, so it was preferred to have the least opened menus (tools, windows,
help) to the end together, like in writer.
One can also say: all between File and Tools is consequent (I read in the
Writer issue that there is still a search for that holy grail :) ) and that the
rest before view is app-specific.
I have no strong preference here.
Data
AutoFilter and More filters.. I would not do that. Shortcut Data > Filter
immediately offers AutoFilter
The stats showed that 78% of users who opened the Data > Filter submenu went
for AutoFilter and it is the second most used entry in the Data menu, so it
is important that it be not in a submenu.
It is important that is is easy accessible. It is now since it's at top in
the submenu.
Furthermore with the change the first menu will be more cluttered.
It is not as cluttered as most menus as it has 20 items in it, while the
sheet menu has 25 items in it. The menu had 16 items in it before i made
changes to it.
It adds cluttering because Filter is mentioned twice in the main menu.
It hurts to my eyes. May be only me?
(No others interested in Cal ?)
Sheet
Interesting idea..
Yes i wondered what would be the best possible name for it. Any suggestions?
Not yet, no. But again we face a situation where part of the entries can be
considered to apply for sheets as well as for different components, I'm
afraid.
Yes that is always a challenge, so we try to make the best possible that
fits best.
Still going on. Thanks for that!
