Many questions for Stage

[David Faure]

Here are some questions to ensure I won't change behavior that was there on purpose,
or that I didn't miss something obvious:

* Shape animations: Move up / Move down doesn't move the setting "start on mouse click / start after previous animation / start after next animation". Shouldn't it? I expected it to.

* Color selection: there's no color picker and no way to just type a color name like #RRGGBB? Or did I miss it?

* The "connect shapes" tool in Stage only works with paths that I had imported from an ooimpress
presentation. More precisely, I'm surprised that the regular text boxes from Stage cannot be used
with the "connect shapes" tool. Is this on purpose? Or could this be added?

* How do I insert an arrow between two text shapes then? I can do it in OOimpress.
(I don't mean the right-pointing arrow that I can insert with Add Shape in stage,
but rather diagonal lines with an arrow at the end).

* Weird: after inserting such an arrow in OOImpress and opening the presentation
in Stage, I can't set a shape animation on that arrow. I just can't select it, when in the
animation tool.

* When changing an image ("double click to choose image" or "Replace image..."), if the aspect ratio changes then the user has no way to make it correct again. Resizing will respect aspect ratio (I love that in general, but not when it's wrong to start with), and the Picture editing tool cannot change the size of the shape itself. What do you suggest would be the best GUI for allowing to set the image shape to the size of the underlying image data again?
(In addition I suppose there should be a keyboard modifier for resizing without keeping aspect ratio,
but that's not really what I needed, it would take some guessing to go back to the right size).

* I miss the "reopen on the page/slide where I was when closing the app" feature. I had code for that in KWord (and in the ODF specs) long ago... I can't really remember what it was though. Maybe something in meta.xml or so.

* I miss "click on 4 text shapes and change the font for all of them". This worked in KOffice :-)
(the Text editing tool only applies to one shape). Is there any way to make this happen again
with the current design?

PS: please CC me I'm not subscribed.
