Impress power users rely on the mode toolbar as one of the most frequently accessed commands. In my opinion, hiding it by default is a huge problem (I went back to LibreOffice 5.0 because of it). We should at least have the toggle icon on by default, although it is not the ideal solution as the reality is that you activate the mode toolbar as your first action when editing a new presentation (because you switch between Page and Slide Sorter very frequently, as you compose your presentations using a mix of completely new slides and slides from old presentations pasted in Slide Sorter view).
I have now reverted to LibreOffice 5.1, where I have activated the toggle icon (which makes the issue acceptable, but does not solve the issue of the missing Mode Bar). The icons to switch from Page to Slide Sorter views are always visible both with PowerPoint and Keynote, and we should avoid to introduce a "feature" that represents a HUGE step back in term of usability. -- Italo Vignoli - Marketing & PR mobile +39.348.5653829 - email / jabber it...@libreoffice.org hangout / jabber italo.vign...@gmail.com - skype italovignoli GPG Key ID - 0xAAB8D5C0 DB75 1534 3FD0 EA5F 56B5 FDA6 DE82 934C AAB8 D5C0 -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: design+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
