Description: Hello LibreOffice Devs, I struggle to work efficiently with Impress. I am going to present two issues I have with layouts/master slides, that I can not solve efficiently myself. ISSUE1 (Editing layout elements, custom layouts) ---------- If I wish to *change the style of all title boxes* in my presentation, I have to do it manually on every page, correct? I have researched online, but there is no way to add text boxes to master slides (1), add custom layouts (2), or apply layouts to master slides (3). Solution (1) is problematic, since *layouts* are used to differentiate text box arrangements, not master slides. It would add redundant functionality. Solution (2) seems great! Add a *Layout Editor* to Impress. Here, we can edit layouts and duplicate them. The custom layouts can be applied via "View > Slide Layout". Solution (3) is a further enhancement, since it allows a coupling of master slide and layout functionality. For example, I can change {font size, background, and text box arrangement} in one operation "Slide > Change Slide Master". ISSUE2 (switching layouts, text transfers) ---------- Another related issue: When I change the layout, Impress does not copy the contents from the old boxes to the new ones. It would be great, if there would be a pop-up window where each text box from the old and the layout had a number. In the window you could then assign the text boxes to each other, e.g. Old_1 -> New_3, Old_2 -> New_1, empty -> New_2. This would finally allow for seamless switching of custom layouts for an arbitrary selection of slides! I hope this reached you well. Any help is highly appreciated. I am going to reward your efforts, just get back to me. You can get back to me @ student@mailo.com Kind regards, Markus Actual Results: - Expected Results: - Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 6.4.7.2 Build ID: 1:6.4.7-0ubuntu0.20.04.2 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
