Bug ID: 154003
Summary: It is too cumbersome to switch the direction of an
entire presentation
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: eyalr...@gmx.com
Scenario 1:
Suppose you get a presentation someone made in a Western, LTR, language, as an
ODP file.
Now suppose you want to present the same thing, but in Arabic, Farsi, Fula or
Hebrew. Or - you want to use the existing presentation as a basis which you
then modify into something related.
----
Scenario 2:
You have a presentation template, intended for LTR presentations - which you
want to use for an RTL one.
----
It is currently quite cumbersome, time-confusing, and possibly even difficult
to switch the direction of the entire presentation.
You have two edit all of the master slides, flip the direction of the
background (if not get into more serious editing), flip the positioning of
items on the master slides, set directions of a lot of elements, since the
directions don't inherit from some single "Default Slide Style"'s direction
property, you need to flip table column orders (see bug 153995), and possibly
some more tasks. And - some of the work needs to be done slide-by-slide, since
you can't select items from many slides, certainly not without visiting the
different slides.
Now, what I'm describing is not a bug; it's a problem. And I don't have a
single solution to offer, but it is an uncatered-for user need which needs to
be addressed somehow.
