Can't vote from friendica so voting via comment: Classic toolbars FTW. Tabbed UI feels un-organised on macOS in its current form and has UI issues that have gone unaddressed for several years:

• https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127610
• https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125511

Thus strong opposition to make tabbed UI default. It is not usable nor ready. Classic toolbar is. I really don't see the point in making UX worse for users and force not-ready tabbed UI on them.

The better option would be a UI selection dialog on first launch of LibreOffice (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137931). It would annoy users of Classic toolbars since they have one more hoop to jump through before they can begin to work with LibreOffice but if other users are unhappy because they don't know where to find tabbed UI, a selection dialog is probably a feasible compromise.

Good #LibreOffice news:

"Patrick Luby (NeoOffice) fixed issues related to the transparency-to-alpha rework, fixed a Skia issue related to a changed default, fixed horizontal swiping and scrolling when using an RTL UI, made it possible to encrypt files with using public GPG keys with unknown Ownertrust on macOS and fixed macOS crashes"

This is item # 27 in the monthly dev / qa report: https://qa.blog.documentfoundation.org/2024/04/11/qa-dev-report-march-2024/

And it means that for the first time for as long as I can recall, #OpenPGP in @LibreOffice on #macOS is in an actual usable state 😮

Kudos Patrick for your persistence in addressing the nasty issues around this implementation.

Why? Schleswig-Holstein cites cost, security, and digital sovereignty - though not necessarily in that order.

Mein mir grundsympathisches Bundesland #SchleswigHolstein wechselt bei seinen 30.000 Behörden-PCs demnächst von Windows & Office 365 & Sharepoint etc. auf #Linux & #LibreOffice & #Nextcloud.

> “Die Sicherstellung der digitalen Souveränität ist mindestens so wichtig wie Energiesouveränität”, sagt Schleswig-Holsteins Digitalisierungsminister Dirk Schrödter.

Sehr cool!

https://www.schleswig-holstein.de/DE/landesregierung/ministerien-behoerden/I/Presse/PI/2024/CdS/240403_cds_it-arbeitsplatz.html

Schleswig-Holstein geht voran:

#LibreOffice statt M$ Office
#Linux statt Windows
#Thunderbird statt Outlook
#Nextcloud statt Sharepoint

Das Kabinett hat den Startschuss für den Umstieg auf freie Software gegeben - ein Gewinn für #IT-Sicherheit, #Datenschutz und die heimische Digitalwirtschaft.

Langfristiges Ziel ist die vollständige digitale Souveränität des Landes.

https://www.schleswig-holstein.de/DE/landesregierung/ministerien-behoerden/I/_startseite/Artikel2024/II/240403_digitalsouveraene_verwaltung.html

Wir ziehen den Hut und wünschen eine erfolgreiche Umsetzung!🎩

#OpenSource #DigitaleSouveränität

Einstieg in den Umstieg

Schleswig-Holstein setzt künftig auf einen digital souveränen IT-Arbeitsplatz in der Landesverwaltung – das hat das Kabinett nun beschlossen.
