Nextcloud creation menu when Collabora Online is activated:
Nextcloud creation menu when Collabora Online is activated together with OnlyOffice:
As you can see at the moment you have duplicate menu elements like:
- New Document
- New Document
- New Presentation
- New Presentation
- New Spreadsheet
- New Spreadsheet
It's true that they have slightly different icons, but it's still too much confusing as no additional context is provided about what is going to happen.
The curious thing is that we have this option enabled in Collabora:
And this option enabled in OnlyOffice:
And, with the above options, all the mentioned menu items actually creates OOXML files. This is what happens:
- New Document (DOCX - OnlyOffice)
- New Document (DOCX templates - OnlyOffice)
- New Presentation (PPTX - OnlyOffice)
- New Presentation (PPTX templates - OnlyOffice)
- New Spreadsheet (XLSX - OnlyOffice)
- New Spreadsheet (XLSX Templates - OnlyOffice)
So, the current situation is somehow less confusing for newcomers but still curious.
The important thing for me, is that:
- as requested by our users, normal users interact with OnlyOffice when interacting with DOCX (DONE)
- as requested by our users, normal users, when creating documents, they create with OnlyOffice (DONE)
- as requested by LibreOffice community, advanced users opinionated against OnlyOffice should be able to drag & drop and ODT to use Collabora (DONE)
So, I don't know how this situation could be improved. But this is.
