(3.2 default settings)
current points of handling grids: 1. option toolbar (available over menue: view/toolbars/option) disabled by default 2. grid options (menue: tools/options/impress/grid) 3. align toolbar (icon in drawing toolbar) movable/dockable 4. icon 'display grid' in presentation toolbar (5.) menue: view/grid/ .. 'display grid', 'snap to grid', 'grid to front' (not on the pic.)
Questions

---|---|---|
Rotation Mode, Guides when Moving |
'Rotation Mode after Clicking Object' & 'Guides When Moving' are two feature options which are switched off by default .. they are worth to be on, aren't they? |
|
Reset grid to defaults |
'reset grid defaults' (button) .. do we need such a feature? after a time and some settings the user can get confused and/or some settings can have unpredictable effects for the user -> for example: people check 'when creating or moving objects', forgotten it and then only squares can be draw, not more rectangle (because of the square snapping) => looks like a bug. |
|
Grid snapping vs. zoom |
if you zoom, you maybe want to handle smaller shapes .. do you also want a smaller resolution for grid snapping? |
|
Combine display and snap to grid? |
Does it make sense to combine 'display grid' & 'snap to grid' in one icon/button (if you switch the grid, you also want to snap)? (current default: 'display grid': off, 'snap to grid': on) |
|
Change Handle Size | The current handle size was defined years ago - with displays offering less density than today. I propose to change the default handle size to "large". This option can be found in the toolbar "Options". |
=> which further features should be 'switched' on/off per default? Which default sucks?
