------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Nov 23 15:17:33 +0000 2008 ------- [design] make impresswriter app instead of two Currently the problem is despite all the similarites those apps (writer, impress) have so much different UI. Without any benefit. What's more -- there are two apps. And let's list the differences (I mean, serious): * in impress you can have transitions between objects (an element can appear in the page after clicking, or next slide can appear) * in writer there is how many page this content will take notion, in impress you have how tiny font is required to get this content on N pages And... that's it, right? So please add to writer: * slide presentation mode * transition attributes for objects * auto-fit mode, so text would not leak to another page, but it will be shrinked instead The rest is importing templates. This way the user could work with tables, graphics, video, etc. without any worrying if this should be presentation or publication. What's more the change (publication->presentation) would be much easier because of the same exactly UI. I think those apps are so close in features that it is a pity they are so far away in UIs and how this features are delivered (compare inserting tables, the same object, fundamentally different behaviour -- no benefits, rather a lot of harm). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
