--- Comment #18 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- Following the discussion in the design meeting yesterday, here are suggestions for labels for the checkbox-and-radiobox solution. First, a brief description (since Heiko hasn't posted it here yet). The idea is to have the following arrangement: [ ] Label1 ( ) Label2 ( ) Label3 One state of the checkbox corresponds to the choice of "table:embedded-number-behavior=alpha-numeric". The other state corresponds to one of the other two values, where the radio-group chooses between "table:embedded-number-behavior=double" and "table:embedded-number-behavior=integer". Now, what should the labels be? Before making concrete suggestions, let's think about some principles of the labeling: * They should make clear that these settings regard the processing of cells with text values (which is not explained elsewhere in any separate label). * They should avoid misunderstandings: It is acceptable for a user not to know what a certain choice does, but it is unacceptable for the user to believe it will do something and then see it did something else and contradictory. So, for example, using the phrase "natural sort" would be a really bad idea, because different people have a different idea of what is "natural" in the sorting of strings (is considering character ASCII/Unicode values natural? Is parsing words and numbers in strings natural? etc). * They should focus on intent, need, or use case rather than on the detail of how to achieve it; i.e. we would rather not say how a widget makes LO behave, but what its toggling can achieve. So, finally, some suggestions. First, for Label1: 1. "Parse string-values for numbers" 2. "Parse strings in cell values for numbers" 3. "Account for numeric values in strings" 4. "Account for numeric values in cell string-values" 5. "Account for numbers in string-valued cells" 6. "Account for numbers in text cell-values" 7. "Extract numbers from cells with text values" 8. "Extract numbers from cells with string values" 9. "Recognize numbers in strings" 10. "Recognize numbers in string-valued cells" 11. "Numeric sort" 12. "Sort strings by numeric values" 13. "Use numeric values in cell text for sorting" 14. "Sort strings using parsed numeric values" ... and the phrases "strings", "string-valued cells", "string values", "cell string values" can be replaced one of the other, mostly. Now, for Label2 and Label3: 1. "Parse only integers" , "Parse integers and fractional numbers" 2. "Parse only integers" , "Parse integers and decimal numbers" 3. "Parse only integers" , "Parse integers and fractionals" 4. "Parse integers" , "Parse integers and fractional numbers" 5. "Parse integers" , "Parse integers and decimal numbers" 6. "Parse integers" , "Parse integers and fractionals" 7. "Parse integers" , "Parse fractional numbers" 8. "Parse integers" , "Parse decimal numbers" 9. "Parse integers" , "Parse decimal-representation numbers" ... and you can also take and of the above 9 options and replace "Parse" with "Account for"; or replace the word "and" with "&". Feel free to make other, different suggestions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
