Review
- UI: Area Docking as Regular Feature, Not Experimental #127810
- WIP: UI: Icons in ID Search List (Alt) #127086
- We want to do this a bit differently
- Fix #127825: File Not Found: Nicer Alert & Do Not Clear Recent #127882

Design & Discussion
- Grease Pencil needs icons reviewed.
- WIP: UI: Preferences Search #119072
- Hans made many changes to this
- Not discussed
- Toast Notifications. Near-term roadmap item?
- No, not for now. Needs more discussion and planning first
- Tooltip final periods. Complaints of them being inconsistent. We turned off automatic appending of periods, added them back in for multiple sentences. Makes sense to add them to single sentences that contain other punctuation like colons, commas, etc. Guidelines need to be communicated.
- Lots of discussion about which things should have and not have periods. In the end we decided to go back to appending, but doing it more selectively, and not warning if already there. That way we can continue to improve them without pressure to do so within this release.
- Operator HUD & Adjust Last Operation
- Not discussed
- Blender conference.
- Our talk is on the first day. We might also do another.
- Jonas showed off a color picker context menu
