Attachments:	Example with Tux The images to distribute

Description Rpnpif 2011-10-02 04:56:00 UTC

Dispose 6 images on a page on 3 rows and 2 columns.
First row : image n.1 and n.2, second row : image n.3 and n.4 and third row, image 5 and 6.

Select all and in the contextual menu, choose distribution with top of vertical mode only.

Result : From top to bottom, the images are arranged as this (no change of column) : 2 on the top, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6. This is not natural and not usable.

Expected result : On the first column, the 3 images of this column are distributed with the same distance versus the top of the images. On the second column, the 3 images of this column are distributed also with the same distance with their tops.

This bug is still in LO 4.3.1.2.

Comment 9 ign_christian 2014-09-01 09:36:26 UTC

Should be UNCONFIRMED. No confirmation from others yet.

Comment 10 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2014-10-05 16:06:52 UTC

According to the online help, I do not see where would be the bug.
Please, could you elaborate a bit more?
Did you try other distribution options?

Set status to NEEDINFO. Please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once you have provided requested informations. Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards. JBF

I'll explain more here, Jean-Baptiste.

On the beginning, the images are arranged with column but approximatively.

The aim is to get the distribution as the first page of https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=51876.

With the contextual menu, we cannot easily get this result as in other software.
Vertical distribution is not enough smart. It should recognise the placement in column and work column by column.

Else, I think that this function is not really usable.

Try to distribute this attachment that I'll sent.
I think that this function is really unusable.

Regards.

The images to distribute

It is difficult to distribute these images with the distribute function.
