--- Comment #8 from Owen Genat <[email protected]> --- Jay I think the problem you are going to have with this enhancement is that it will depend on changing a few other UX aspects. Of all the large drop-down-style examples, only that of Word 2013 offers the same level of convenience to what the Drawing toolbar in LO currently offers. I would certainly not want to draw anything elaborate or large with a single-group drop-down as the amount of clicking would be excessive. For example, by default, the Basic Shape group displays the Diamond, however I can select Hexagon, which changes the displayed shape for that group. I can then draw multiple hexagons fairly quickly and easily, via a series of single-click selections. I can simultaneously do the same for any group, thus having the desired Block Arrow, Callout, Flowchart, or object from another group, should I choose to expose these. With the Word 2013 arrangement each selected shape is moved to the Recent Used Shapes area at the head of the drop-down (or bottom of pop-up if the toolbar appears at the screen bottom). That is pseudo-convenient as it still requires hunting for the required icon each and every time. (In reply to comment #5) > If you really want to show them all at once, why not extend the already > existing pane in the sidebar? I can see how the proposed enhancement reduces the need for an entire dedicated Drawing toolbar. However I tend to agree with this comment by Regina that the effort would be better spent creating a new pane in the sidebar and then changing View > Toolbar > Drawing to expose this pane. This is similar to the recent change with regard to the Styles and Formatting toolbar. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
