--- Comment #6 from Bastián Díaz <diazbastian@openmailbox.org> ---
(In reply to Yousuf Philips (jay) from comment #5)
-1 for me, as
1. 16:9 leaves less space to work with when both the slide pane and the
sidebar are open
True, but the side panel can be easily hidden, in addition, it is not the only
available interface layout and many more come in (MUFFIN!).
On the other hand, if a user uses the 16: 9 format it is because it is the most
useful, practical and that gives him more space to present the content and in
the end that is what is important.
2. users have easy access to switch to it in the sidebar
The same if default is 16:9 and you want to use another page format.
3. most of our templates arent 16:9
How could this be solved? Means that each template must have a file for each
page format (eg 4:3, 16:9, 16:10, etc.). Whatever the decision, the most
popular formats for users should be offered IMHO.
4. most other presentation apps havent switch over to it
As I mentioned above when opening the report, most other presentation
applications changed to 16:9 by default.
5. users who prefer 16:9 can easily create a 16:9 template as their default
That's right, but I do not think it's the way to see the problem. Why keep the
4: 3 format by default? More than being the most popular or used format (it is
not already) is a legacy format and in my case, I have a template 4.3 for these
cases (contrary to what you propose).
