AI: Submit proposal (olivier)

* Can images have a frame around (Marcia)
   + A (border-less) frame is added automatically when a image get a
caption (Olivier)
   + image and caption are wrapped in this frame.
   + We can add a border to the frame, need consensus.

* Space between the caption and the image (Marcia)
     + Caption should be concise to avoid breaking the line, left aligned
     + Gap between image and caption should increase (Marcia)
         + This can be adjusted in caption paragraph style -'space
above' (Olivier, Dan)

* Screenshots rules for Guides
     + Keep the screen size, no enlarging.(Leo)
        + Use a good screen resolution to take a readable screenshot.
        + PDF has its own way to resize the image to 300dpi for printing
     + To take screenshots directly in LibreOffice:
        + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Screenshots
        + Screenshots carry OS "look and feel" but not the dialog window.

* Screenshots of I/O dialogs
     + I/O dialogs may vary depending on OS and printer manufacturer
     + Use Windows for I/O screenshots: Print, Save, Open files.

Next meeting : *THURSDAY* May 21st 2020 at 18:00 UTC.

Thanks Olivier.

Please could somebody remind which of the available icon styles should be
selected for taking screenshots to go in the guides? (The Contributors’
Guide on the wiki currently says "Tango" but I can't recall whether that
advice has been superseded.)

Regards,

Steve

Hello

The Draw Guide uses Tango icons. With only two chapters to go, I shall not be changing. The change can take place when we go Version 7.0, but need definite instruction to us Colibre.
