In the following commit Jay changed the previous name from "Master Slide Design..." to "Master Slide...": https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=e82e05380aecd53a89bc77dc97aba72f6d56ba83 While I agree that the name Master Slide Design wasn't fitting (same with the title of the dialog: Slide Design), I think it'd be clearer if menu items doing different things wouldn't share the same name. Heiko/UX team, what are your thoughts?
Agreed, different functions should not labelled the same. Ideally, the commands follow a Verb-Noun scheme and we could rename the command as well the dialog title to "Change Slide Design" or "Select Master Design".
Is the terminology "slide design" used otherwise? For example in the Slide deck of the sidebar, the relevant field is simply called "Master Slide". Therefore, perhaps something like Change/Set/Apply/Select Master Slide could be used for the menu entry and dialog title? (and we could get rid of the label in the dialog in the meantime)

(In reply to Roman Kuznetsov from comment #3) > https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/65860/ > > Offer change "Master Slide" to "Slide Design" There are more places with this caption. Please wait with pushing to master (my review comes later).
I support the Verb-noun schema for the menu item suggested in comment 1 and comment 2. What I don't want is to change the feature name (master slide) inconsiderably. Such a change would have a massive impact to the UI and help files.
We discussed the terminology in the design meeting. The command should be labeled "Change Slide Master" (would be listed the same in the main menu and the context menu). The dialog title ideally becomes "Available Master Slides" (we keep bold section title "Select a..."). The code pointer here is sd/uiconfig/simpress/ui/slidedesigndialog.ui <property name="title" translatable="yes" context="slidedesigndialog|SlideDesignDialog">Slide Design</property>. And last but not least we have another dialog that shows up after click on "Load", which title is today "Load Slide Design" and should become "Load Master Slide" (check sd/inc/strings.hrc: "#define STR_LOAD_PRESENTATION_LAYOUT NC_("STR_LOAD_PRESENTATION_LAYOUT", "Load Slide Design")
