            Bug ID: 160403
           Summary: Want indication of whether a master slide is in use or
                    not
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

In a large presentation, with many slides and which also happens to have many
master slides, one may wonder: "Are all of my master slides actually in use?"

It would be nice if there was some indication which would let me tell apart a
master slide that's in use from one that isn't. Currently, and AFAICT, there is
no such indication.

Now, if such an indication is to be enabled always, it had better be rather
subtle, so not anything like a visibly glowing frame, that would be kind of
distracting. Although - a sectioning of the master slides view - first those in
use, then the rest - while not subtle, still seems kind of legit. 

Another possibility is for the indication to only become visible by some
trigger (e.g. toggle in a right-click menu in the master slides area); in that
case, I would tolerate it being more pronounced.

If the indication could also have some gradation of use, which clearly
differentiates no-use from any-use, but also shows something more intense for
more extensive use - that would be nice. A bar underneath the master slide when
its in use, with the bar fill fraction indicating frequency of use? I don't
know, again, just a thought; and only as something you toggle.

So, please first ignore my attempts at bike-shedding and comment on the
possibility in general, then feel free to bikeshed away.
