#h2 Minutes

Present: Pedro, Darshan, Sahil, Banobe

  • Viewing mode inconsistencies between different document types

    • Writer: commenting is not possible in Viewing mode
    • Calc and other document types: commenting is possible
    • This was decided in the past because inserting a comment changes the file and triggers a save.
    • Darshan: In Writer, a comment is part of text editing and therefore triggers the modification flag. In Calc and other document types, we use a different dispatch that is outside the text-editing part, so it does not trigger the modification flag.
  • Making the switch from Viewing mode to Editing mode easier

    • Screenshare and discussion
  • Initial idea of having more document modes

    • Old GitHub issue from Pedro about having additional modes, such as Reviewing mode
    • Ivana later created a mockup based on the idea
  • Banobe

    • GIF issues related to layers
  • Discussion about integrators passing too many custom colours without checking contrast

  • Sahil

    • Nothing specific at the moment
    • Still reading and writing code and putting some patches together
  • Darshan
