Bug ID: 104342
Summary: Rethinking 'Master pages' sidebar dock
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: needsUXEval
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: libreoffice-b...@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: s.mehrbr...@gmail.com
CC: libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org
In Impress we have a sidebar deck named "Master pages". It has three sections:
* Used in this presentation
* Recently used
* Available for use
I see a huge problem especially with the last section "Available for use". It
lists master slides from all registered templates. People tend to use this as a
template switcher, but the result is that you mess your presentation up because
you import master slides from foreign templates instead of just using that
template as base.
It should be more obvious for the user now (since 5.3) how to select a template
since we show the template selection dialog on Impress startup.
So I suggest we remove the "Available for use" sidebar panel.
Maybe we can even go further and remove the whole deck. A master page switcher
has been integrated in the properties deck recently.
Another option would be to move the "Used in this presentation" panel to the
Properties deck, and remove the "Master slide" selector from there.
Thoughts?
