Tickets/Topics

 * GALLERY: Option to add files to a "Favourites" theme in gallery
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151222
   + current workflow is to create a special category "Favorites"
     and copy the interesting items into it (Regina)
   + Gallery management is clunky and Favorites is widely used (Cor, John)
   + having another route to Gallery items would be orthogonal to the existing
     path and confusing (Heiko)
   + adding the Favorite tagging mechanism wont block improvements to the
     Gallery (Cor)
   + could be shown in the list likewise the categories but on top and separated
     with a ruler; creating a category with the same name would end up in
     "Favorite 1"; renaming and deletion needs to be blocked (Heiko)
   => comment

 * Size submenu of table selection context menu not clear enough
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151284
   + command labels usually start with an action like "Insert *" (Eyal)
   + "Optimize Size" (Rafael)
   + "Height and Width" (Cor)
   + just "Size" is reasonable (John, Cor)
   + "Resize Row/Column" (Eyal)
     + works but is lengthy
     + just "Resize" (John)
     + hard to translate in German, Dutch.. (Heiko)
   => better stick with the existing term, WF

 * Consider adding "Move to Top" and "Move to Bottom" buttons under effects list
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151345
   + Move To Top/Button a not a requirement (Stuart)
   + tend to agree with WF but if the commands "move up/down" (as existing)
     and "to top/bottom" (as requested) could be added to the
     context menu (Heiko)
   + seldom use case, cluttering the UI, dragging is possible (Cor)
   + planning to change the UI anyway (Effects go into an expander) (Heiko)
   + competitor don't have it either, so prolly no big need (John)
   => WF

 * Need mechanism for re-centering "Slides pane" onto current slide with
   edit focus
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151170
   + statusbar shows the number of the current slide and the sorter has a clear
     indicator but not when the focus changes eg after clicking the white space
     at the slide sorter
   + UNO action to scroll the pane would be very helpful (Stuart)
   + sounds like feature creep to me and extends the UNO API unnecessarily;
     having a "toolbar" (some button next to close) would be acceptable but
     ideally a more natural interaction like automatically refocus when
     items are edited, which is the fact today (Heiko)
   + alternatively we could just avoid loosing the focus; ie. no white space
     in the slide sorter (Heiko)
   + always show the currently active slide at the status bar (John)
   => recommend to modify the ticket goal

 * New Paste Special Operations: Maximum, Minimum
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151205
   + afraid of a bottomless pit (Rafael), no use case (Roman)
   + plenty of space, do it (Eyal)
   + in case we have even more options it could go into a dropdown (Rafael)
     + strongly disagree; we should keep it as simple as needed (Heiko)
   + use case: Tracking a set of measurements where there is no need to keep the
     history of measurements, only the last value and the "best" value to date
   + don't get the use case, but seems to be completely different to what
     we have (Cor)
   + seems to be very advanced; too niche = WF (John)
   => recommend to realize per extension
