Bug ID: 162545
Summary: PPTX import generates master slides instead of using
layout
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium

Presentation with 2 root master pages
The current import generates for each slide layout its own master slide
although the layout from PowerPoint could be represented by the slide layout in
LibreOffice.
The problem with the current approach is, that the information about the root
master slide is lost. So changing e.g. the background in a master slide does
not affect all associated slide layouts. And resaving to pptx generates a lot
of master slides that do not exist in the original document.
To examine the situation you can use the attached file. It has two root master
slides in PowerPoint. The first one has four layouts, the second one three
layouts.
After opening in LibreOffice you have seven master slides instead of two.
I know that PowerPoint allows "child master slide" with associated layout. That
concept differs from the concept of ODF, that has the layout on the individual
slides. That problem is tracked in bug 62332.
The request here is this: If a "child master slide" differs from the root
master slide only by layout in PowerPoint, then LibreOffice should use the ODF
layout mechanism and do not create additional master slides.
