Summary0004573: Suggested Improvements to the Style Manager (mockups included)
DescriptionHere are two mockups for an improved style manager (only for the left part of it). They're basically the same, except that one uses tabs, the other one icons. It's more like the OO.o's Stylist, i.e. each style has its own window, which is useful if a doc contains lots of styles. Please note that I added styles that were already desired elsewhere, so these mockups include some wishful thinking ;)
Another similarity to OO.o is the "View" listbox. It's another little luxury that can be useful in case many styles are present.
I also added two new buttons to the lower right: "Cancel" and "Close". "Cancel" should close the editing dialog without changing anything, something currently impossible with the "Done" button. "Close" should close the whole dialog.
Just in case the proposed design pleases developers and users alike, it could serve as template for a new Document Outline dialog.
Finally, I suggest that the edit dialog be a separate window.
TagsNo tags attached.

The edit dialog is not supposed to be a separate dialog, but SM is supposed to handle both functions.

rdebel, you can see the .ui files if you install Qt Designer

Christoph, check your proposal against current SVN. Style manager has been changed so maybe it will fill your needs.

me? Nothing. But Christoph's ideas seem like current style manager to me.
Of course I can be out of topic ;)

Well, there are some features in the mockups that aren't implemented yet (and perhaps never will).
