This is an absolute MUST. Now in OOo 2.0 beta we have toolbar entries in the Drawing toolbar that look exactly the same (an icon with a triagle next) but behave in different ways. At leat inconsistent and confusing. The "Curve" and "Connect" toolboxes behave as thet disi in 1.1.4: they do remember teh last selected item. But the new Shapes toolboxes look the same and behave different. They do NOT remember the last tool selected. You must to reopen it and select a tool in orden to draw anything. My point is toolbox (the expandable container for several tools within the toolbar) Let me add emphasis: toolboxes MUST work like in 1.1.4. At least toolboxes that did exists in 1.1.4 and now have been relegated by the new fancy ones. These new ppt-like toolboxes do NOT remember the last item selected. I know this is the way they work in PowerPoint, but in OOo I see that as a BUG. - Enrique - reassigned It might be irritating for the user if the same button for a toolbox can have up to 28 different faces... Reassigned. IMO, this seems like a weak reason not to implement the change. I don't really for see that being a problem. WQ: It might be irritating for the user if the same button for a toolbox can have up to 28 different faces. EC: New users probably will never use the additional tools in the toolbox, so there will be no irritation for them. But power users do will be irritated by being forced to work with a less efficient UI than was available in 1.1.4. Even more when they know that 2.0 do have this functionality, it is a matter or putting it into use in those particular toolboxes. - Enrique - setting keywords. Not only the draw-icons are affected, but also for example the Insert-button (not part of default configuration, has to be added manually, the one that opens a drop-down-menu, like the topmost icon in OOo 1.1.x vertical toolbar - in Insert-Category → Insert) The selected shape keeps saved per session. Issue is closed now. |
