--- Comment #27 from Pedro <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #25) > (In reply to Pedro from comment #23) > > Steps to reproduce: > > 1 - Open Impress, do not select any template in dialog box, > > 2 - Create new slides with different layouts ("Title", "Title, Content", > > "Title and 2 content", etc), > > 3 - Go to Master Slides in Sidebar and select an "Available for use" Master > > slide. > > That's what I asked for. The crucial information is _sidebar_. This tab is > used to import one slide from a different master (and only the first) while > the usual workflow to apply master is via properties > master slides listing > the master slides available in the current document (with all the Candy > after loading the template). When I select the Candy Master Slide and then go to Properties and try to change Master Slide I only have the Title Master Slide when I selected Candy. > > Expected behaviour: > > Selected Master slide will take layout of slide into account. > > You can Apply to All Slides or Apply to Selected Slides with the context > menu. Bug 98423 asks to "Importing all master slides into current > presentation" (we could also allow the user to pick one or more slides). But > regarding your request: we just don't have the other slides imported . > > > Title slide with Candy title Master, content slide with Candy content > > layout. > > So we are back at the automatic assignment. Candy, to take this example, has > only by chance a slide labelled "Title". Could also be "This is the first" > or "Hello World". How would the software know what the template slides with > random names was intended for and what the current layout means ("Title > Only" missing here also precision in your description) could be used for > anything. If you have a title slide in terms of the first page in mind, even > if such layout/design/item exists you may use it for different purpose. Every other single office software does this. I don't know the technical details on how they do it, but they do. It's simply standard behaviour from the field of office software from dedicated software to cloud alternatives. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
