Just sent an email to percy when you do! ( Percy Leonhardt ) =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D > That would be a start. Tell me what needs to be done (and how it could be > done?) and I will try to fix it. sorry for delay; as always I have to fight for time for this kind of stuff = :) - The Outline titles are the contents of the first text box. This can be=20 quite long; it would be nice to restrict it to a maximum of 12 characters. Something like 'The quic...azy dog' It would be great to then have toolt= ips on those words showing the full text. - These same outline titles should update after each keypress in that first= =20 text frame, not just when changing focus. - The thumbs on the left could do with an outline to show the size of the t= humb. - When you have a really wide sidebar and 2 sheets the thumbs are shown next to each other. When I then make the sidebar smaller I get a horizontal sc= roller. Only after adding another slide do the thumbs resort to be one-beneath-an= other. - the text used in the outline title would be great to have as a tooltip fo= r the thumbs. - All the Configure screens of special objects (pie chord etc) should be ta= bs in the object properties. I don't like the popup menu on a pie chord to hav= e=20 both a 'configure pie chord' and a 'properties' entry. Only the properties should be there (and it should be at the bottom) Take a look at koffice/lib/kotext/koParagDia.h, KoParagLayoutWidget to see = how this is solved in kword useing one interface for all config object. This ma= kes placing tabs easy. - There should be an extra 'move' action which can go into the toolbars. (it is the default now when an object is clicked) - There are 4 dialogs about configuring objects; the format-> pen & brush e= tc. These should NEVER be seen without first clicking on an object of that type. So the menu entries have to go; the toolbar entries have to be deleted and the entries have to be present in the properties dialog like discussed in t= he previous point. This should prove enought for now; don't hasitate to ask if you run into=20 trouble, but please ask on the list if it has to do with an implementation part of kpresenter since I don't know much about that. --=20 Thomas Zander zander@earthling.n= et The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new --neYutvxvOLaeuPCA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8pi51CojCW6H2z/QRAlOSAKDCDOzgXHCzlIGzRW18xXBrIfsHvgCdGu97 allKooALoUO6CQQHikkLh+w= =ch7t -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --neYutvxvOLaeuPCA-- _______________________________________________ koffice-devel mailing list koffice-devel@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice-devel
