[sidebar] Snapshot builds are available

Hello everybody,

The two most important improvements since my last update:
- There are some more panels migrated from Symphony (Line, Area, 
Position and Size, Graphics, Page)
- Context switching works and shows the decks and panels as they should 
appear in the finished sidebar.  The missing panels are replaced by 
placeholders for the time being.

More information and an explanation of the concepts (deck, panel, 
context) as well as short descriptions of the panels can be found on the 
Wiki page [1].

The most important thing I have not (yet) done is: blogging about the 
sidebar.  But the implementation is now in a state that deserves a 
little more publicity so I will see if I find the time to write about it.


But now to the snapshot builds that I have promised in the subject. 
Please go to [2] to find the installation set for your preferred platform.
But please not that this is work in progress.  Do not use it to work on 
important documents.

If you are interested in doing QA on the sidebar feature, there is a 
short section [3] that lists three simple documents that will help you 
find all the different contexts and that tell you which panels should be 
visible for each context.

Have fun,
Andre

Andre, i'm using (directly) the 4.0 snapshot, and i saw that all
components from format toolbar are present in sidebar, except the
"style and format window" (F11).

If we put this button in sidebar, we don't need more this toolbar,
giving more some "pixels" in the text space. Is this idea in the plan?

Best,
Claudio

Hagar, thanks for the feedback.  I can not reproduce this behavior but 
am probably doing something different then you are.  Can you write an

There are no concrete plans to disable the standalone versions of 
navigator and other dialogs that are to be included in the sidebar.
Once the sidebar is released, we as a community, will have to decide on 
how to go on.  Also, the feature set of the sidebar is not fixed for all 
times.  One possible improvement could be to make decks and panels able 
to detach from the sidebar window: plug the navigator inside the sidebar 
if you want or plug it side-by-side with the sidebar, both visible at 
the same time.

Maybe we (I) should start a new section on the Sidebar wiki page for 
possible future enhancements?

As others have said before me in this thread, the word count is best be 
displayed in the status bar.

But your question is valid for other features.
The answer is, yes, of course.   Making the sidebar extensible with more 
decks and panels was one of the design goals.  You can do that with 
extensions in any language that is supported by the extension manager.  
There will be Wiki page that describes the details.  The already 
existing way to do that will be supported also.

Sure. If there is an extension already available and all the needed API 
work as described in
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121442
has been done by Ariel in the last months (thanks!), then let's just 
integrate and enable this extension by default and not use the sidebar 
for that.

Agreed that Word Count would be better in the Status bar, rather than in the Sidebar. My reasons: if Sidebar is turned off by a User and they continue to use the classic OpenOffice interface, then they still have the Word Count.

I haven't yet had time to try the Sidebar (apart from looking at the visuals), as my current systems are all 32 bit Ubuntu; in the next few weeks I hope to migrate one or more to 64 bit Ubuntu so I can try the Sidebar

+1 to implement word count in the status bar and give the place to something else in the sidebar.

The real-time word count is useful on the status bar, as in this
extension (demo):

Indeed. And another way to make lots of users happy, and show that the 
sidebar is not only a new interface but also a way to implement new 
features, would be to include the output of "Tools - Word Count" (not 
the button, which might still be useful though) in the sidebar. Is this 
technically feasible?

What I like about the sidebar:
- The button that opens the properties of the main dialog (avoid right click to access character/paragraph properties for example)
- Better screen real estate for wide screens (something a bit like The Gimp)
- Could be the possibility to remove the default formatting toolbar at the top (to increase space for the document)
- The possibility to reduce each section of the Sidebar
- Increase/Decrease font buttons will please a lot of users!

Not sure the page settings should be included: they are not that often accessed (but well, that section can be reduced)
About integration of the Navigator (and Stylist): I use them a lot and the Navigator is THE panel that I would not like to be hidden in any way. All users working with long documents really need it visible just all the time. Even an extra click to switch to it would be cumbersome.
NB: a drop-down list in the Text/Paragraph sections could be added to select the Character/Paragraph styles.
Vertical spacing of the buttons seems rather large but I guess it will be part of the fine tuning.

I just noticed that mouse wheel on the Sidebar scrolls the document and not the Sidebar.

Just my feedback based on my personal use of Writer.

currently work is ongoing to integrate the gallery. The navigator and stylist should be also integrated. But there are of course questions how exactly. Some users might prefer to have both visible and docked, how would it be in the sidebar? We have to figure out what is best and what works best. We can probably do not everything for 4.0 but it's good to collect feedback and ideas. The currently floating table toolbar is also a candidate for integration in the sidebar.

I personally like the sidebar and believe it will be a really huge step forward to increase the usability.

Nice.
I use to dock Stylist and Navigator. When the Sidebar is docked below one of them, if you hide it and then display it (with View menu), it doesn't takes its previous place but almost all space of the panel, reducing the room left for the other panel.

Regina, Hagar, anybody else who finds bugs:

yes, please write an issue for everything you find.  Please see [1] for

Depending on how many you find I will maintain a list on the wiki [1]
