I do believe it's a bad idea to display suich a dialog and seems at least Microsoft Office and OpenOffice.org do not do something like that with there word-processors. > We get a lot of negative comments about it -- I remember that Peter > Sikking (the gimp interaction design maintainer) couldn't keep from > laughing out loud when he first saw it. I don't wonder. I still have to find a single person who likes to have that template-dialog between you and the app in the first place. Also adding an "unbreak option" (as in a way to hide it per default) doesn't solve it. So, the real question should be; Do you like either to have such a template- dialog visible per default XOR not for a) Words, b) Tables and c) Stage. From the feedback I saw so far clear majority prefers to have the blank page there in both, Words and Tables, per default. Note that for Stage OO.org displays a wizard while MSPowerpoint starts with a clean presentation too. > Apple's office suite also starts with a template browser, oha, that's interesting. Are you sure they do if you start direct the applications (e.g. Numbers) or maybe they only do if you start the container- application (e.g. KoShell)? _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
