Re: ONE bad thing/look about KOffice 1.5 beta

On the menu on the left, there is:
Recent Documents
Blank Document
Cards and Labels
Envelopes
Custom Document
If by "Blank Documents" it's meant to create a new document with no template, why is there a Memorandum template inside it?
One way of solving it, would be to have something like this:
Recent Documents
Blank Document
Office Documents *
Cards and Labels
Envelopes
Custom Document
This way, Blank Document allways gives a blank 1-page file. Office Documents would have the templates for memorandums, business letters, etc.
Non-business templates could be also categorized in new categories: like Home Documents, etc..
On the right, after Blank Document is chosen, an icon for it is shown with some text and a button, like:
[ICON]
Blank Page
[BUTTON]Use this Template
Wouldn't it be easier to grasp if it was like:
[ICON]
Blank Page
[BUTTON]Create new Document
but this would give problems when creating new envelopes, and the button talking about Documents. But it could look like this:
[ICON]
Blank Page
[BUTTON]Create new Blank Page Document
but this could make a giant button... What about just "Create New"?
In fact, the fact that this screen's purpose is to create a new document is not very apparent, and only is told as such in the description for the chosen template, like:
"Create a blank US Letter document" |
