--- Comment #6 from Pedro <vermelhusco1...@gmail.com> --- It does not mean exactly that... My expectation is not to have a master slide that fits a certain (content) layout. This wouldn't lead to restriction of workflow or having exactly the same number of master slides as (content) layouts. My point is that Master slides should behave similarly to other office suites, namely: Users expect Master Slides to work as Themes/Templates on Powerpoint/WPS/OnlyOffice. The current workflow is completely different and much more cumbersome. The method in other Office suites: 1 - Go to design tab, 2 - Select a Theme/Template, 3 - Title Slide and following slides adopt selected theme: Title slide adopts a different background from following slides. The method in Impress: 1 - Go to Master Slides, 2 - Select a Master Slide, 3 - Only selected slide adopts selected theme. It ALWAYS adopts Title slide background regardless of Layout. Then how to select a different background for Layouts other than Title Slide? Method: 1 - Select all the other slides besides Title slide, 2 - Select Change Slide Master in Layout tab, 3 - in Available Master Slides dialog click Load, 4 - Select Category "Presentations" -> desired template in "Templates", 5 - Select the desired Slide Design. The user has to do this for multiple slides either by changing the master slide individually for each slide or by selecting All the slides where to do this. As you said Candy has a lot of master slides. When a user goes to the Master slides Sidebar, he only sees the title Master slide and he has no way to select a different Master slide from Candy unless he does all the extra steps I mentioned. In any other office suite, having a Title Master Slide applied to Title Layout slides, and a different Master Slide to other layouts is a one-click affair. In LibreOffice it is an extraordinarily involved process that involves digging through dialogs and selecting all the slides where to apply the desired different master slide. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
