[libreoffice-design] Position of Impress slide management buttons on toolbar

Hi everyone,

I just saw this comment on a Slashdot article, talking about the Impress UI:

"In Powerpoint there's a big button marked "New Slide", on the left hand
side of the ribbon. On Impress it's buried in the toolbar somewhere on
the right and not given any particular importance. One of the most basic
actions is less usable in one tool over the other. A succession of
little things like this compound the hassle of using the tool."

Looking at it in LO 5.3, in the top toolbar, there are 26 buttons before
the trio of slide operations (new, duplicate, remove) appear. Would it
make sense to move these closer to the left, given their importance?
Another option would be to have a big "New slide" button under the slide
thumbnails on the left.

Of course, I'm not a UX guy so there may well be a reason for those
icons being where they are. Just some thoughts, in any case :-)
