--- Comment #19 from Pedro <vermelhusco1...@gmail.com> --- Comment from Regina Henschel in #147797 The "Slide Layout" in the UI determines placeholders for Title, Subtitle and Outlines, for example. Such are represented as element <presentation:placeholder> in ODF. These placeholder elements are bundled in an container element <style:presentation-page-layout>. The page itself has an attribute presentation:presentation-page-layout-name to refer to an element <style:presentation-page-layout>. And the page itself has an attribute draw:master-page-name to refer to an element <style:master-page>. But a master-page has no way to contain information about a presentation-page-layout. Only the single page connects master-page and presentation-page-layout. Although we can do nothing in the file source we could provide a better UI. You can base a new document on a template. But then you get all the other parts like pre-filled text objects as in case of template "Candy". The sidebar offers "available" templates, but that gives only the first master-page of the chosen template. The dialog "Load Master Slide" fetches all master-pages of the chosen template and shows them in the dialog "Available Master Slides". But then you can select only the one for the current slide. For another slide you need to go the way Slide > Change Slide Master > Load > Select Category > Select Template > OK > Select master-page > OK again. The UI misses an option to load all master-pages of an template or document at once and provide them for later use in the presentation. I can image to change the sidebar/toolbars/menues in this way: The section "Available for Use" or a new section contains a collection of master pages, not of template-thumbnails. You could provide the presentation name in addition to the slide name in the tooltip. There is an option to load all master-pages from a template or from an existing document. There is an option to enable the user to select, which master-pages are stored in the document, even if they are not yet used. Presentations are often created in several sessions and there should be no need to fetch master-pages again and again. There is an option to enable the user to remove a master-page from the document, if the user no longer needs it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
