Bug ID: 85966
Summary: No ability to copy / duplicate master slides
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.2.7.2 rc
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Presentation
Assignee: [email protected]

Problem description:
Description from end user I've been trying to assist on this:
"If I have a master page I'm happy with, but then want to make a new variant
with some minor modifications (a slightly different layout, say), I can't seem
to find any way to copy the original one. The only way I've succeeded is by
creating a new master page (which adopts the default layout/style), and then
painstakingly copying every change I made to the original to the second page.
This is frustratingly time-consuming and inefficient."
I was able to find a (rather convoluted) work-around:
- Save your preso with the master slide you want to copy, say as foo.odp
- Save it again, this time as bar.odp
- Open up foo.odp so you have two impress windows open
- Open up the master view in each impress window
- Drag the master you want to make a copy of to the slide canvas in the center
of the impress window (not the slide pane on the left)
- You'll have a copy of the slide master you dragged over added to the bottom
of the slide pane list
Would it be possible to add a 'duplicate' function to the right click context
menu of slides in the master slide pane?
