Description Wolfgang Jäger 2018-06-28 10:38:04 UTC
Description:
V 5.22 introduced te template manager with a control for choosing a 'Filter'. The dropdown reads:

All Applications
Documents
Spreadsheets
Presentations
Drawings

This is obviously inconsistent. 
One way to fix the issue might be:

All Applications
Writer
Calc
Impress
Draw

Anotherone:

All Document Types 
Text Documents
Spredsheet Documents
Presentations
Drawings

Lacking mention of Math and Base should be acceptable despite the "all" as there are no templates insofar. 


Steps to Reproduce:
-/-

Actual Results:
-/-

Expected Results:
-/-


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
(Older versions had similar issues, but the 'Filter' control only exists in V5.2.0 and higher.)

We applied the schema <document type> (module) somewhere else recently (bug 118330). So my take would be

All Document Types 
Text Documents (Writer)
Spreadsheets (Calc)
Presentations (Impress)
Drawings (Draw)

OTOH, the only unclear term here is Documents and we could simply add "Text" before it. Keep in mind that long text expands a dropdown (like for All Categories). And we should also keep the localization team free of unnecessary work.

Removing needsUX, changing labels is an easyhack

All Applications
Text Documents (.ott)
Spreadsheets (.ots)
Presentations (.otp)
Drawings (.otg)


Pro: makes clear what "criterion" is used in filter 
Con: looks ugly

Maybe this form is cleaner -- and some (most?) users will/can ignore the first part of the line, while others might find the .ot* to be useful.

All Applications
.ott - Text Documents
.ots - Spreadsheets
.otp - Presentations
.otg - Drawings

And many users struggle with extensions, in particular on Windows where it's hidden.

Also hidden in Template Manager. => Keep it simple.

"Documents" -> "Text Documents"
