Hi guys,

Janit was volunteering to look into

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41572

and is struggling a bit how to best achieve that. The bug report there
muddles a few things up it seems, it is also not entirely clear what
should happen if one assigns a new master page to an existing slide.

Another idea Janit was pondering is to not use the master page
concept, but rather provide bulk-assignment options in the custom
animation pane (comparable to the slide transitions - selected slides
in the slide sorter get the effect). Though clearly that needs some
fleshing-out.

Would someone here want to work with him to come up with a nice
workflow for this very useful feature?


It's a subject I've been investigating months ago as it's a basic feature of a slideshow software. But I got no perfect solution yet... disclaimer : I searched ideas to easily apply appearance animation on slide objects and lines in textfield. It's not exactly this bug, but it's related.

Beside the UX problem, I've seen something more annoying that seems technically-related :
- enter several lines in the main content textfield
- apply an animation : every line will appear after one click
- then insert some new lines in the textfield
--> the existing animation is not updated and provide an awfull order of appearance.

This problem is related to technical implementation : there are objects of type 'animation' linked to objects in the slide.

In order to solve those problems (fdo#41572 and the update), we need to know what changes are possible form a dev point of view ?
here are some questions as a first brainstorm :
- are we stuck with a separation betweens objects in slides and animation objects ? is it related to ODF format ? - can we imagine some visual changes of objects to indicate the order of appearance ?

The idea of using master slide for that is interesting, but will not cover all uses case (when a user just want that effect on only one slide for ex).

This functionality is so important that we have to create a very good UX design, and prepare/prototype everything before starting a single line of code.

As you may have guessed, I'm interested to work on this subject ;-)
I hope you're ok.

Thanks,
Michel
