#h2Minutes

• Present: Darshan, Mohit, Ivana, Raul, Bayram, Sahil, Banobe

• Dialogs with more than 5 tabs → get a list

  • Samuel will start to work on this

• Multiple Contextual tabs

  • First general plumbing is done and merged by Samuel

  • Second patch with the example merged: User selects an image inside of a table on writer.

  • Mohit’s improvement on highlight (when to add the css class) merged

• Raul

  • Moving the line related components from the sidebar to the notebookbar’s Shape tab

  • Raul: I need to see what Sahil did

    • Sahil: Caution: Before removing stuff from sidebar we need to do some changes on mobile so mobilewizard panes that are coming from sidebar would then actually come from nb tabs → postpone discussion for next week

• Impress - Presenter view is broken

  • 

  • controls get cropped (user is forced to scroll the whole thing to access them)

  • The Presenter to All is suddenly bigtoolitem, it shouldn’t. It should be either just a icon or – I think we already have discussed this, an inline button

  • Pedro (AI): to chase this.

• Ruler work:

• Ruler: review, rebase and test tooltip implementation #15888

  • updated Michael’s patch & merged it: https://gerrit.collaboraoffice.com/c/online/+/2687

  • Ruler: change mouse cursor on hover and update indicator SVG icons #15887

    • https://gerrit.collaboraoffice.com/c/online/+/4655 => Need Review

  • Ruler: add hint tooltip for inserting tab stops #15889

• https://gerrit.collaboraoffice.com/c/online/+/4667/1 => Need Review

• Icons, needs review:

  • https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/15863 Collapsed, Expand

  • https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/15891 Format → Theme

  • Crazy idea from Pedro what if….

    • Every single color picker has the possibility to choose any theme palette

      • Ok, wouldn’t that bee too lengthy ?

      • Maybe we should have then dropdown 2 levels Theme colors > Theme

    • Yes, but how to add new ones?

      • Easy, we would then have that dedicated button in format AND maybe – if not too visual complex – add an additional (secondary) button to every color picker that opens the Adding theme dialog (Directly to Theme Color Edit)

  • Paste special

• Bayram: Hyperlink dialog input fields fix: https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues/15642

  • https://gerrit.collaboraoffice.com/c/online/+/4682 (main)

  • The patch will be updated according to the review(s).

  • Impress: Show selection frames of multiple selected drawing objects

• Banobe: Calc: Add comment and add Note icons in calc need adjustment

  • Pedro: we need to visual communicate to the user the difference bet one and th eother (at 1st glance)

    • marker should be different (caution: remember to don’t put it above the AI suggestion marker)

    • the card should clearly communicate when it’s a note and when it’s a comment.

      • Maybe we could simply change the primary button from “SAve” to

        • Save comment

        • Save note

• Can’t add Comment on Shapes: AI(Banobe) please report this on GH

• When a shape is selected on the canvas, the Name and Alt buttons in Format tabs are disabled. The shape can only be given a name when clicked from the Navigator. AI(Banobe) please report this on GH
