--- Comment #12 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #10) I want to pick an animation effect, and by doing so, add it. Category or no Category. Right now I have to add an effect I don't want. That can't be right; and it's just the details of the fix which need ironing out. > If we _add a category_ ... you wont be able to change the type of animation. 1. Suppose that's true. Well, so what? I can remove an effect I don't like, and add an effect I do like. Just like I can put a rhombus object on my slide, and if I later decide I want a round disc - I delete the rhombus and add the disc. 2. Why should I not be able to change an effect's category after adding it? That's a choice we can choose to make, or not to make. > in order to switch from entrance to exit you > have to delete the animation and start over. ... but I'm starting over anyway when I change the effect type. Although, see point (2.) above. > and all for what? To align with a bad workflow in Powerpoint. Absolutely not the reason. The reasons are both preventing the user from having to do something they don't want to, which may already be sufficient; and for making it possible to consider different animation effects - by name at least if not more than that - before choosing one. I don't care about whether we align with the MS-Powerpoint workflow. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
