Description Cor Nouws 2015-01-11 10:39:23 UTC
In Draw:

The arrow "Curves" (GZMEE) on the tool bar "Drawing" opens a toolbar with the title "Lines" (uJMtU).
You cannot turn this on and off with the menu "View" > "Lines"

Proposal:
 - change tool bar title to Curves 
 - add this tool bar to the menu View

( the arrow  "Lines and Arrows" (gVhz6) on the tool bar "Drawing" opens a tool bar with the title "Arrows" (ABoyL). That can be turned on and off via the "View" > "Arrows" )

NB (strings between parenthesis are KeyID's for searching in Pootle)

Hey Cor,

There are a number of toolbars which are not visible in View > Toolbars that are only accessible through clicking the drop down arrow buttons in the Drawing toolbar (e.g. Connector, Basic Shapes, Symbol Shapes, etc.). The ability to rip them off and dock them if needed is available to those wishing to do so, but as the drawing toolbar is always on, there isnt much of a need to do so.

All the items in the drop down are lines (freeform line, polygon, curved line), so i think we could change the button's tooltip to something like 'Lines and Polygons' and the toolbar could be titled the same.

Just incase you hadnt heard, we decided to always set ux-advise enhancements to NEW so that it doesnt affect UNCONFIRMED numbers for the QA team. :D

I know. The example Arrows I gave, was the one I accidentally looked at ;)
But it looks as the only exception: others are only accessible from the Drawing tool bar. So remove Arrows from the menu? There's enough to choose from :\

Fine for me.

Yes i guess it can be removed from the View > Toolbars menu.

So the fixes needed are:

1) The tooltip for .uno:LineToolbox needs to be changed to 'Lines and Polygons'
2) The toolbar title of linesbar.xml needs to be changed to 'Lines and Polygons'
3) The Arrows toolbar (arrowsbar.xml) needs to be removed from View > Toolbars

Polygons better fits what is offered. But maybe Curves is more understandable for average users?

To me, 'Curves' has no meaning to what is provided in the drop down. Maybe we can just use 'Polyline'.

I've no strong preference. And in the end people make the translation that fits them best ;)
So if no one else comes up: pls go ahead.
