+ Concerns about anchors, i.e. spacing looks like attached to the center
instead of the label (Samuel)
+ Perhaps remove the +/- buttons to clean up the UI (Jay)
+ Sidebar HIG requests one-click interactions with favorite options
(Heiko)
Gallery: Integration of additional symbol sets
* May-20: First steps
* Started to investigate the current status (Heiko)
+ 68 arrows, 92 bullets, 18 computer, 108 diagram...
+ ~90% as svg but some png
+ various sizes for svg and png
+ svg with gradients are not always well defined (path for primitives)
+ gradients are badly interpreted (tdf#64464)
-> too many objects without a good concept
* Web wizard is buggy and very outdated
+ Agreed (Samuel: tdf#99967 )
+ Drop homepage category from gallery (Jay)
* Started to create new objects (Heiko)
+ e.g. BPMN http://dia-installer.de/shapes/BPMN/index.html
+ simple shapes and grouped does not work well (e.g. glue point issues
tdf#45864, tdf#96419, depend on style)
+ better use custom shapes (Regina per email)
+ works weird for styles and formatting
+ no UI for custom shapes!
* Contraints for factory gallery items
+ one size, e.g. 1cm by 1cm
+ only vector graphics
+ one format at best odg
+ Samuel: needs discussion, e.g. odg is a document format
+ Jay: there is a bug report - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/
show_bug.cgi?id=87906
+ min 10, max 50 items per category
+ max 20 categories
+ Could be easily more when searching is possible (Jay)
+ careful naming of objects
+ ...
* Numerous issues with Insert SVG filter (https://
bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88278)
+ Surprisignly similar to PDF filter issues (tdf#99746, Draw related
only)
* Suggestion to have a hack fest for Gallery and SVG (Regina per email)
Draw
* May-20: Continued reorganization of bugs
+ META: Enhance Draw's block diagram capabilities (tdf#99563)
+ SUB META: Improve Connector handling (tdf#99649 +13)
+ SUB META: Introduce auto generation of block diagram (tdf#99669, +2)
+ META: Enhance Draw's vector graphics capabilities (tdf#99622)
+ SUB META: Improve Layer Handling (tdf#99648 +13)
+ SUB META: Improve Gallery (tdf#99671 +8)
+ META: Enhance Draw's DTP capabilities (tdf#99525)
+ SUB META: Improve PDF filter handling (tdf#99746 +29)
+ tdf#49247, tdf#99339
+ search for svg in Draw results in ~50 bug tickets
+ tried to go through but resigned after ~10
+ moved some to graphics stack
+ most/all are attached to Meta: insert SVG image filter (all modules)
