Description Tyson Tan 2019-03-22 08:11:22 UTC 
Right now Custom Document in Create New Document dialogue has quite a few confusing item arrangements.

1) Color space related stuff is under the Dimension tab.
Suggestion: Make a new Color Space tab and put color space stuff there.


2) The "Color" string should be renamed to "Color Management" or "Color Space".


3) This "Color" string is being used in way too many different context:

#. i18n: ectx: property (title), widget (QGroupBox, grpMode)
#. i18n: ectx: property (text), widget (KColorButton, colorSelector)
#. i18n: ectx: property (text), widget (KColorButton, colorFillSelector)
#. i18n: ectx: property (text), item, widget (QComboBox, cmbFillType)
#. i18n: ectx: property (title), widget (QGroupBox, groupBox_2)
#: libs/pigment/compositeops/KoCompositeOps.h:190
#: libs/pigment/KoCompositeOp.cpp:31 libs/pigment/KoCompositeOpRegistry.cpp:105
#: libs/ui/dialogs/kis_dlg_preferences.cc:1177
#: libs/ui/forms/wdgnewimage.ui:66 libs/ui/forms/wdgstrokeselectionproperties.ui:150
#: libs/ui/forms/wdgstrokeselectionproperties.ui:188
#: libs/ui/kis_palette_view.cpp:102 libs/ui/kis_palette_view.cpp:328
#: libs/ui/layerstyles/WdgColorOverlay.ui:23
#: libs/ui/layerstyles/WdgStroke.ui:134 plugins/color/lcms2engine/compositeops/RgbCompositeOpColor.h:38
#: plugins/extensions/layersplit/layersplit.cpp:202
#: plugins/generators/solid/colorgenerator.h:53
#, kde-format

But Color (pigments) is not really the same as Color (color management context). In Chinese we have two different words for each: 颜色/色彩. But now we are forced to use Color (pigment) in contexts of Color (Color management), which is not completely wrong but irritating for a translator to do nothing but allow a mistake. I suggest we make every Color string unique and do not reuse them in any another context, this will greatly increase the accuracy of translation.


3) Image Background Color and Opacity is for some reason defined in "Content" tab.

Now these are the two options that SHOULD go under the name of "Color"...but under the current arrangement it really has no place to go. I suggest we:

  1. Rename "Dimensions" tab to "Content"
  2. Move all Layer count and Image Background settings under the current "Color" section
  3. Move all color space related stuff to a new "Color Space" tab
  4. Rename the current "Content" tab to "Metadata", it has only Name and Description now.
  5. Same goes for Create from Clipboard.

It's not just about what would feel more logical: it's also about convenience and workflow. The image dimensions and color model should be on the first tab, immediately accessible, because those are needed more often than the other options.

Some renaming might be in order, but I wouldn't want to reorganize too much here.

Scott, what do you think?

It seems like there are two different ways we can organize things..by functional area, or by what needs to be seen when getting a file started. 

I would vote for organizing it by how important it is to see at the start (how it is now). For that the tabs could maybe be renamed to something like "Basic" and "Additional" to highlight the second tab stuff isn't that important when starting a document.

Setting this to wishlist too.
