* Template Manager (Akshay)
+ List view for Template manager tdf#63256
+ what is the benefit? (Jay)
+ users demand that - to see the paths, and fit more on the
screen (Samuel)
+ inspired by a bugreport (Samuel)
+ the main point is to see the previews (Jay)
+ scrolling not an issue - there is 'search' (Jay)
+ of course file manager has a different demands, there it makes
sense (Jay)
+ could be done: split view - list on the left, previews on the
right (Heiko)
+ Removal of bottom controls in Template Selection dialog + other
controls to be added
+ is that on by default (that every user sees that when launching
impress)? (Kendy)
+ it is off by default, happy about that (Kendy)
+ prefer a button in a toolbar (or something), instead of
starting
with a modal dialog (Kendy)
+ should be on by default with easy means of disabling (Jay)
+ would prefer a re-think of how people create documents
(Kendy)
+ ie. how the people open "presentation app"
+ or info bar - but I hate modal dialogs (Kendy)
+ have a doc about the 'new document interaction' (Jay)

+ template wizard removed in master (Samuel)
+ but decided not to touch 5.2 (Samuel)
+ past the feature freeze anyway, would need some additional
approvals (Kendy)
+ probably not a prio now? (Heiko)
+ let's involve the original bugreporters, and check with them if
the improved template
manager now fits their needs (Jay / Samuel)
+ will comment in the bug (Samuel)
* Progress of Area Fill project (Rishabh)
+ Bubli is concerned about feature loss when CMYK would be removed
+ Keep the code and remove the access to it UI-wise; not simple because
there are some bugs
+ Option 1: Do it, decided by UX team - (samuel, jay, heiko)
+ Option 2: Ask via design ML
+ Option 3: Ask via G+ survey - (bubli)
-> remove access in the UI, keep the code to be removed later
-> tell people in the upcoming blog post
+ Color picker needs some time
+ Pattern: large number of predefined patterns to aim for compatibility
or have a smaller number for simplicity
+ Hatching: remove this in favor of (better) patterns
* Progress of Sidebar Improvements (Susobhan)
+ Still working on page deck, header/footer panel
+ Input from Writer hacker is needed
+ Two panels under review (page format - goes into master, page margin -
issue with duplicated code)
+ Page content panel on Properties deck will be removed soon; new page
deck is comming
+ Planned: outstanding issues in area panel - https://
