Re: HTML export

Where did you get the impression that anybody wanted to remove HTML 
export? As the project lead of Writer I should know that. :-)

HTML export

Dave Yost — 2011-04-14T19:09:06

It would be a shame to remove the feature because nowadays paginated 
docs very often need to also be presented online as HTML.

This feature works pretty well. It just needs some fixes.

OO Writer needs Forward and Back toolbar buttons a la web browsers

Dave Yost — 2011-04-12T16:38:43

This feature has been adopted by many other kinds of apps other than web
browsers. For example, IDEs have the feature, and the Mac Finder has 
the feature.

Writer and possibly other OO apps should have the feature.

A further enhancement is to go to the previous (and next) site where something
changed (i.e. like forward and back except skipping the locations where nothing
changed.

I don't propose that forward/back would work across other OO apps. Just Writer.

I tried to post this in the bug database, but that bug got closed, 
and I was told to post it here.

Re: Better default settings in the dialog of Sheet - Insert for Calc.

Better default settings in the dialog of Sheet - Insert for Calc.

tora - Takamichi Akiyama — 2011-04-12T11:19:51

Hello,

Is this a right place to go?

Better default settings in the dialog of Sheet - Insert for Calc.

User Scenario
  1. Start your task with Calc.
  2. Done with Sheet1.
  3. Done with Sheet2.
  4. Done with Sheet3.
  5. Now you need a new blank sheet.
     Insert - Sheet; [OK]

     Oops, the newly created one, Sheet4, is inserted before the Sheet3.
     == Sheet1 Sheet2 [Sheet4] Sheet3 ==

  6. Move the Sheet4 after Sheet3.
     == Sheet1 Sheet2 Sheet3 [Sheet4] ==

  6. Done with Sheet4.
  7. You need another sheet.
     Insert - Sheet

     This time, you know there is an option in the dialog.
     Choose (x)After current sheet; [OK]

     Good! The sheet5 is inserted after the sheet4.
     == Sheet1 Sheet2 Sheet3 Sheet4 [Sheet5] ==

  8. Done with Sheet5
  9. You need an additional sheet.
     Insert - Sheet

     Hey, why doesn't it remember what I chose last time?
     Choose (x)After current sheet again; [OK]

  The phenomenon above is confirmed with OOo 3.3.0 Windows and DEV300_m100 Solairs Intel

Draw & ODF-Next: 3D and WebGL

Leonard Mada — 2011-04-09T20:46:26

For the UX experts to digest, too:
How can OOo benefit from 3D?
What will the future bring?
How will 3D interact with existing technologies?


Dear TC,

now that Firefox 4 is out, bringing WebGL to the public, I would like to ask the TC to look at opportunities to bridge ODF with 3D-worlds.

I am referencing one of my 2008-posts on the OOo list:
http://openoffice.org/projects/ux/lists/discuss/archive/2008-09/message/78

Point (3) goes like this:

A brief explanation:
I do not think that ODF has to reinvent 3D languages. These are probably well represented. But I think that ODF will have to integrate 3D langauges and interoperate with 3D specific software. And this process should start rather early than too late.

Sincerely,

Leonard

Imress Presentation describing NEW OOo features

2011-04-09T18:43:40

Hello UX-members,

for the next OOo-release, I was revisiting an old post:
http://openoffice.org/projects/ux/lists/discuss/archive/2008-07/message/85

What about an interactive Impress-presentation describing the NEW features?

In the HELP-Menu, there could be a new entry: Presentation (or Vignette or New features). It will open an Impress-presentation in (partial) Slideshow-mode.

Partial Slideshow = NO Impress controls, BUT not occupying the whole screen (still somehow windowed).

Optimally: first page allows selecting which features to view:
- General new features
- module specific new features (Writer, Calc, ...)
- All (important) new features (i.e. General + Writer + Calc + ...)
[so, the Impress-presentation should become interactive]

Just a thought.

Sincerely,

Leonard

Re: text size settings

Frank Loehmann — 2011-04-08T07:12:38

Hi Rainer,

This was one of our oldest ones: https://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2446. Please update to OpenOffice.org 3.3 to see this issue fixed.

Regina is right, it is much easier to use heading styles in this case. Then you have to adjust the size/format once within the style and can use shortcuts (Ctrl+1 = Heading 1, Ctrl+2=Heading 2, Ctrl+0=Textbody) to change the style for the current paragraph. This will also allow you to change the formatting of your document just by changing the styles afterwards. 

Please have a look at the 'OpenOffice.org 3.3 Writer Guide': 'Applying styles' on page 177:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/images/7/70/0200WG33-WriterGuideOOo.odt

Thank you for your feedback.

Best regards,

Frank

Hey Regina,

that's true, you're right! I should have used the proper Mac build to verify the issue instead of wondering why it was not solved.

Thanks!

Hi Rainer,

Rainer Nyberg schrieb:

Which version of OpenOffice.org do you use? At least since version 3.3 
the feature is already implemented. The actual font size is in the 
middle of the drop-down list.

But when you work on a book, you should not at all use hard formatting, 
but apply styles. That will ease your work in the long term.

Kind regards
Regina

Hi Rainer,

thanks for the advice! I think I get what you mean. This is truly an unpleasant issue and we have been thinking about changing it already for some time but did not do it for whatever reason.

< at >Frank Loehmann: Frank, are you aware of any engineering challenges that might need some attention in order to fix this issue?

text size settings

Rainer Nyberg — 2011-04-07T16:21:20

Hi
Thanks for the brilliant applications in Open Office. I love to work in them.
Because I am working on a book manuscript where I change often between (10pt) 12 pt and 14 pt size of fonts, I have a question OR suggestion:

When I want to change from 14 pt to 12 pt (or 10 pt) font size (in the SIZE "hole" to the  right from the FONT) I only see 14 pt and BIGGER, 16, 18 ... 36 pt sizes options. 
Can I (or can you experts in the next version?) remake the settings of font size so when I work in 14 pt  I would also see 10 and 12 pt size as options WITHOUT using the mouse to move the blue scroll bar on the right hand side of the little "hole" or window in the top tool bar? 

Thanks a lot for all the work you have done!
Rainer

Sure, feedback is always welcome.
Surveys told us that the average OpenOffice.org user is about 50+ years 
old. So it is very interesting to get feedback also from segments beside 
20 to 40 found in development and community today.
Mode switching without clear feedback, toggled by a key near a prominent

we will discuss this within our 'Better Defauls' project for sure:

Did you already give the OpenOffice.org template repository a try?

It also might be beneficial for others to share such templates, if not

Yes, these automatisms could be very annoying, especially if no feedback 
is given when this happens. A known issue, but currently we lack a
