What exactly (one or more issues) need to be changed in LO to be better? (Not: "do like them" but "LO feature X does this and should do that"). (In reply to Timur from comment #1) > What exactly (one or more issues) need to be changed in LO to be better? > (Not: "do like them" but "LO feature X does this and should do that"). It's hard to explain in words. But I will try: 1. Draw and Drop of figures, shapes, etc. 2. Ability to bend them as if we are bending it in a bar graph. The graph behind will help the user in each move. 3. A big flat drawing page instead of a page which looks like a word document. 4. Let user draw and save or export in jpeg, png, etc format and let us insert that picture in LO Writer. (Students need this a lot. I cannot do this on LO Draw. It's hard to achieve this.) 5. When the user draws something and saves/export that image/figure; then we only need that image portion, not the entire page. This figure can be used in other documents. As mentioned in 4th point. 6. A virtual angle. If I need to insert two rectangle side by side with some gap. A virtual angle will show where exactly I should put the 2nd rectangle. This is very hard in LO Draw when u need to insert like 20 of them up and down, side by side in a similar distance. (That's I used that website as a reference.) (In reply to Prabesh432@gmail.com from comment #2) > 1. Draw and Drop of figures, shapes, etc. Ok, let's change this report to be about this. Currently, you can directly add shapes into the document by Ctrl-clicking them in the Drawing toolbar. This does not work with the Sidebar Shapes deck. Also, dragging and dropping would allow the user to immediately position the shape. The graphics in the Gallery are draggable and droppable since forever. > 2.

Please create a new report for this and describe it in much more detail, preferably referring to the help page of another application. > 3.

One guess I have is you mean an inifinite canvas. That's not really aligned with the document model, however. > 4.

Already possible. In Writer, Paste special: Bitmap. In Draw, File - Export, select the image format you want and optionally tick "Selection". > 5.

There are related requests: bug 125107 bug 100141 bug 74317 bug 127507 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=100155&hide_resolved=1 If you still think another request would be needed, do create it as a new report.

Click and drop is actually easier than click, hold, and drop. Do you agree, Prabesh? (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #4) > (In reply to Buovjaga from comment #3) > Do you agree, Prabesh? All I know it, what we can do from that simple website > what we can do from Libre Draw. It's easy & fast from my point of view. I wish Libre Draw >= that website. I wish Libre Draw to be more dynamic and very straight forward. Currently, Libre Draw is not in that state. (Sorry, I if hurt someone's feelings. I do love LibreOffice as in whole.) You didn't hurt anyone's feeling. We just have to balance benefit of an enhancement with effort of implementation. Plus, potential side-effects for other workflows. Much of your input is covered in other tickets and the drag 'n drop is a wontfix. Your input is very much welcome anyway. |
