The layout is not part of the master slide in ODF, but is a separate property of the individual slide. You can combine each layout with each master slide. That is different to PowerPoint, where the layout+master combination is a child of the master. So the master-slide pane would not be the correct place for the layout. Bug 62332 tracks the wish to get something similar as the layout+master combinations in PowerPoint. BTW: The current import from PowerPoint is faulty in that it creates for each layout+master a separate master slide and thus the information that all these layouts belong to the same master is lost. (In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #5) > It's good that you brought that one up, as switching master slides is on the > same order of frequency as switching slide layout. And just like we kept the > former, we should offer the latter. I disagree here. Setting a new master is less often than selecting the layout of a slide. There are often presentations with only one master but using several layouts. For selecting the layout of the slide, no pane in the sidebar is needed. The toolbar has a drop-down-list with illustrations and is always available. That is enough, at least for me. But I would like to have the selection of the master-slide in the slide properties pane as separate section (similar Layouts) that shows a preview, instead of the current list that has only text. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
