Step 1 - Removal of less used button entries Below are the various steps i plans to submit for this proposal in upcoming comments.
The proposal will be broken up into sections, with each section being submitted as a comment, so that interested individuals have time to comment on each step. I have utilizing statistics gathered from 3.1 Usage Data that was done in 2009, along with the assistance of the most used features used in bug reports that i worked on for the QA team, as well as useful input from Thibaut Brandscheid and other QA team members in order to come up with this proposal. I hope that in the future, that the sidebar will be improved enough that it could eliminate the use of the toolbars (similar to Calligra Words) for users who wish to do so, but unfortunately the sidebar isnt presently even able to remove the formatting toolbar, as it doesnt have a style drop down menu. So it is my intention to present a proposal of a customized default toolbars that will contain as many useful buttons as possible, in order to reduce the need for most users to have to go into menus. Its so important in a document, that its the only element used in the writer icon, excluding the text. So presently, 86% of users are going into the menu (Insert > Image > From File) in order to add an image into their documents, which to me is quite sad, as most documents will have a image in it and inserting an image is the second highest inserted element in a document.
I am aware that it is available in the drawing toolbar, but i dont think that most users would associate clicking a tooltip named 'Show Drawing Functions' with the ability to add an image. The only negative thing has been that the 2 default toolbars havent been customized to better suit the vast majority of users, which for me is easily noticable as the toolbars doesnt have a button for 'insert image'.
