Bug ID: 148078
Summary: Impress in Normal and/or Slide Sorter view: Display
synchronously at least 2 slides side by side at
detailed resolution
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Impress, any version (tested in Linux, Impress Version: 7.2.6.2 [version
details at end]
1)
There’s a need for (=there’s missing) in Impress in Normal view a “view
option/mode” that allows to show from one and the same odp file (= from one
file) at least two slides side by side in one window for comparing them, and
ideally also for editing them quickly without needing to flip back and forth
between slides using side pane, or keyboard, or to scroll+click in the slide
pane all the time between them (currently, in Normal view, one can only see one
slide at a time, very limiting. Why also SlideSorter view does not help: read
below)
There’s the need to be able to select any two slides for side-by-side view at
high detail resolution. If this is libreoffice-source-code-wise too complicated
to implement, then at least two subsequent slides should be displayable
synchronously side-by-side at high detailed resolution and large horizontal and
vertical size. An option to select if side-by-side (=horizontally) or
top-bottom (vertically) placement is needed. On large 4K+ monitors, even 4
slides could in principle be shown next to each other synchronously (and thus
edited easily) in a “square-like” setup of slide placement, that is: one slide
at top-left, one top-right, one bottom-left, one bottom-right within the
Impress window.
2)
Slide Sorter view is not a work-around, nor alternative, because:
Slide Sorter offers only a strongly limited maximum resolution per shown
slide-stamp. Even if e.g. one selects to only show 2 slides-per-row, and
maximizes the Impress window to a full 4K 40inch monitor, Impress does not
increase each slide-“stamp” to fill the total available horizontal space but
instead stops at a hard-coded(?) maximum slide-sorter-view slide stamp size (=
horizontal 14cm x vertical 7.5cm). In addition, Impress leaves the rest of the
horizontal Impress window space simply empty.
Solution/Needed: Remove this hard-coded max slide-sort-view slide size. Allow
to slide-sorter-view two slides at high & detailed resolution by allowing to
increase each slides sizes to the full available horizontal window size. Make
use of the empty (wasted) space at the right side of large Impress windows on
large monitors.
