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

Mike, *

Those buttons [1] are default elements of the "Presentation" toolbar. It is by default docked after 
the "Standard" toolbar, but its docking position can be moved to any toolbar dock location.  When 
in Slide Master mode, we get the similar "Master View" toolbar.

We have an Open UX enhancement issue in tdf#89668 [2] to provide the buttons on the Slide Pane 
panel, and possibly reposition the docking location of the "Presentation" toolbar, or just 
remove/hide the toolbar when alternative .UI buttons are  added to the Slide Pane.

Subject: [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 :-)
