Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blocks| |108392 --- Comment #8 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Thilo.Ertel from comment #0) > 1. Master Slide is very hidden in the UI and related features are spread > across 3 different sections in the UI, namely "view > master slide" (opening > and closing), "toolbar" (only closing!) and "sidepane (ALT+F8)" (for further > management). A (prominent) menu item, a toolbar button, and access through one of the side bar decks doesn't seen hidden to me. Also, I think you meant: "Toolbar (only opening!)"; and - from the sidebar, you can also edit a master (right-click the thumbnail, it's on the context menu). > 2. I was very confused how to switch back to normal view from Master slide > view. I totally missed the "close" button in the toolbar. Agree that, with some icon themes at least, it doesn't stand out. Attaching a screenshot of an Impress 2024.8.4.2 on Windows 10, while editing a master - It really doesn't stand out IMHO. It does show the pressed state, but so do other buttons, and this button is not unique with its graphic. > 3.

Clicking on normal, outline and notes in the tabs does not switch back to > normal, outline and notes, but will remain in "Master slide", "Master > outline" and "Master notes". What tabs? Remember the tab bar is not visible by default. After enabling them, I actually would _not_ expect a switch back - I would expect to stay on the "Master" side of things, and this expectation is in fact confounded by the "Outline" tab - there is no "Master Outline". So, there's an inconsistency there. Also, (1.) and (2.) are distinct complaints. > I propose to add "Master slide", "Master outline" and "Master notes" to the > tabs menu, which currently only features 'normal', 'outline' 'notes' and > 'slidesorter'. That would act like a toggle and the "close" button in the > toolbar would not be necessary anymore. Don't have a strong opinion about this. What about the tab bar being clearly marked, so it's obvious whether you're seeing the Master-slide-related options or the non-master options > - makes Master Slide more prominent in the UI. It is an important feature. It is important, but it is not used very often. > - Circumvents the need for a "close" button that is hard to find I don't see this as an advantage in itself, and you yourself mentioned the possibility of emphasizing the close button. > - Adding "Master slide", "Master outline" and "Master notes" would nearly > double the amount of tabs from 4 to 7. Sometimes, less is more. Maybe the > three Master views could be integrated into one tab, featuring various > "sub-tabs". This.
