  • Extended Chart Styles: (Support font style themes, with customizable text element assignment).
    Made a manage themes dialog for charts, and implemented all its planned behavior, it has list of chart styles, and 4 button (save chart style to theme, load themes to chart style, delete theme, save chart style as new theme)
    Changed the popupwindow so it can only choose a theme to the selected chart.. and made a button on the sidebar panel to save the actual chart style as a new theme.
    Tried an other way to improve the render chart to iconview using ScaleText property, it works, but that scale change the chart looks, in some cases it is very ugly, so it may not ok.

    • Impress Perf Improvements

    • fallback to 2D canvas when WebGL2 performance is insufficient

      • https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/12162

      • Idea: Should we show warning dialogs/model for one time if we move them to 2d canvas?

        • Possible Problem: 1) Browser Accelerator off 2) Hardware Accelerator Off 3) Hardware is not compatible – Can’t do much :slight_smile:

          • Joao: could be useful. So, user can understand that it’s not a problem within COOL but actually something else (hardware; web browser; etc). The hard part is how to do that/

          • Banobe: Yes, I agree, but I don’t see how to do this with a common popup that automatically disappears

            • A warning with an ok button that allows the user to read the message and just after pressing the button → the message disappears

          • Pedro & Vivek:

            • I would rather not have an obtrusive message ….

            • we can do one more thing:

              • Add the message as a label directly in there

              • disable the ui in the edit mode for both the animations and transitions

                • Possible problem: people cannot change these things and save the document

  • Bayram

  • (In progress) - Writer: Title letters cut from below (tdf#167527)

  • next: (Open) - Writer: DOCX opens with line numbers in the footnote

  • Skyler

  • Android ANR/Closing issues

    • Have bisected this most of the way…

    • …but got to a large block of commits which had build failures within them so unable to bisect further…

    • …now splitting up commits into parts that are not circularly-dependent so I can continue to find where the problem is…

  • Pranam

  • Improving interoperability to import formulas from MSO

  • Fixing some async dialogues freezing new users joining

  • Gökay

Continues:

Moritz

  • Looking at local build setup

  • Online related work

    • Looking at an easy hack , good first issue. Maybe: Adding the accelerator to the toolbar
