This makes more sense since we're quite agree on s/Page/Slide. * The term 'Pen' and 'Brush' are just 'Line' and 'Fill' settings in some other applications. Can we use them as well ? IMHO pen and brush are just too programmer-minded. * Why is the Outline tab named as 'Outline' ? I don't see any outline in there. I guess Agnubis does it right by naming it as just 'Title'. * Presentation Structure Viewer: this is called Editor from Screenpresentation menu. I bet that it should be just viewer (user can't edit anything there). Possible idea for workaround: throw away the small preview are and make it as floating tool. * Why do we need 'Help Lines to Front' ? IMHO just visible and invisible help lines should be adequate (same goes for grid points). OTOH do we also really need menu items regarding help lines/grid points to be in context-menu (right click) ? * Selection tool is named as (see menu) Format -> Mouse. I guess simply 'Select' is already good. I also hate the new icon, the old one which displays arrow (like a mouse cursor) is clearer than arrow surrounding by a frame. * There are quite number of so-called drawing object (Line, Freehand, Bezier Curve, Rectangle, etc) in menu Insert. Wouldn't be better if we group it together in one item, say Insert -> Drawing object * Toolbars are cluttered with unnecessary actions. I mean, yes it's useful but aren't we supposed to place only most-frequently used actions in toolbar ? Even more, context-menu can be better used for many editing actions. * Can we assign a shortcut key to 'Star slideshow' action ? During presentation editing, this action is often used (at least, that's for me). F5 key like in Powerpoint could be a good candidate. Comments ? Flames ? _______________________________________________ koffice-devel mailing list koffice-devel@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice-devel
