(In reply to Samuel Mehrbrodt (CIB) from comment #0)
In Impress we have a sidebar deck named "Master pages". It has three
sections:
* Used in this presentation
* Recently used
* Available for use

I see a huge problem especially with the last section "Available for use".

What about "Available master pages from other templates" or 
"Available from other templates" 

It lists master slides from all registered templates. People tend to use
this as a template switcher, but the result is that you mess your
presentation up because you import master slides from foreign templates
instead of just using that template as base.

Might well happen ;)

It should be more obvious for the user now (since 5.3) how to select a
template since we show the template selection dialog on Impress startup.

Indeed.

So I suggest we remove the "Available for use" sidebar panel.

Mwah... not convinced yet.

Maybe we can even go further and remove the whole deck. A master page
switcher has been integrated in the properties deck recently.

Ah, that is nice. (Still some glitches there..)

Another option would be to move the "Used in this presentation" panel to the
Properties deck, and remove the "Master slide" selector from there.

It's starting to get confusing for me..

Thoughts?

The ideas all end in removing to choose from "Available master pages from other
templates", correct?
Now we do have the dialog via "Slide > Slide master design". That has been
subject of discussion before. Not the last because of a nice mixture of
related/(meaning) similar terms.
