Writer Taskbar Preview
Mike, what do you think here? (In reply to Roman Kuznetsov from comment #2) I think that I don't know what Windows application shows dialogs in the taskbar preview. Neither simple ones, like Notepad; nor things like MS Word - don't show any popup dialogs that way. Samuel, I checked many softwares on my Windows 7 PC too, no one from it shows its inside dialogs in Windows task bar's thumbnails. So, I don't think it's a bug at all (In reply to Roman Kuznetsov from comment #4) OTOH, if Samuel finds a way to indicate that - it could be cool. I doubt it could be the dialog itself - it could be larger than the editor window itself (our print dialog is quite large these days), or it could be displaced, and simply overlaying one atop of the other could be confusing; but instead of painting the dialog itself, the thumbnail could be accompanied with the icon - just the same way we do with our start center thumbnails, and that would inform users nicely. Using a specific icon (e.g., associated with uno:print), or some generic (meaning "*some* modal dialog is open") could both be improvement. |
