And since most of the mentioned > attributes are already available via master slides, the request is invalid. I'll start by saying that this is not merely a design issue. So, a discussion in the design committee (even ignoring the fact that I couldn't attend) is not sufficient IMHO to mark this INVALID. Nor would it be sufficient to decide that this is a good idea, either; I'm guessing whoever works on the master slides and slide layout code might have an opinion about the possibility of expression some/most of that via a proper style. (For which reason I've marked needsDevAdvice, which I should have done earlier.) And this all is doubly the case considering the meta-bug, i.e. the fact that there seems to be agreement about the need to standardize and implement several new kinds of styles in Impress. Now, to your objection itself... the latter clause of your last sentence does not follow from the former. Indeed, many of what would be the attributes of a page/slide are available via master slides. But - this overlap does not make it harder or more complex to standardize or implement. In fact, it might even simplify the existing implementation and/or the standardization. I'm no ODF expert, but - element styles are very natural to represent in XML. I would even guess that the relation between a slide and its master in the ODF is already somewhat like that of a writer page and its style. I'm just suggesting that this relation be split into a proper style (which would be filled out with additional features), and whatever aspects of the relation are non-style-like. PS - Where is "everywhere"? We're talking about Impress and Draw. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
