Created attachment 172504 [details] Example file from Impress with 2 custom slideshows Attached file contains a few slides and two custom slideshows. Opening the Custom Slide Show dialog, checking the Use custom slide show box and pressing Start or OK does not set the default selected custom slideshow as active, only if something is changed in the dialog. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open attached file 2. Open Slide Show – Custom Slide Show 3. Check Use custom slide show and press Start (or OK and reopen the dialog) 4. Or, select the first slideshow, then check Use custom slide show and press Start Actual results: In case 3 all four slides are shown, in case 4 the first and third slides are only shown. If you press OK the Use custom slide show box does not remain checked upon reopening the dialog. Expected results: In case 3 the first and third slides should be shown as well. If you press OK the Use custom slide show box should remain checked upon reopening the dialog. This is more annoying if you only have one custom slideshow in the file.

Multiple issues here, Inherited from OO: A. In case 3 problem seems to come from spaces in the custom SS name, as I reported bug 142595 for PPT, but looks ODP also. If renamed to no spaces or run after other custom SS, it runs OK. So I propose that one to be for this issue. B. "If you press OK, Use custom SS checkbox should remain checked upon reopening the dialog." I find it a special case 3 which is probably related to previous point. After 1st change, all other changes in the dialog are saved with OK. C. Once you check "Use custom SS" and Start, even if you didn't check OK, Slide Show – Slide Show Settings sets Custom SS. So F5 or Shift+F5 run that custom SS, not normal show from 1. Not sure if it should or not, rather not. Because if you run custom SS once you may not want to do it always. You cannot run normal show from 1, until file is reopened. Help says that OK (called Close there) closes the dialog and saves all changes. Seems that Start behaves with saving, which shouldn't. So bug could be about C, or D - adding UX: D. Whole "Use custom SS checkbox" seems strange and unneeded. If you open Custom SS dialog, you obviously want to run custom SS, no checkbox needed. MSO also doesn't have it. So we could remove that checkbox and have 2 buttons, one Start (maybe renamed to Show) which would remember last ran show and other OK (Close and save changes to custom SS). E. Obviously not this bug, but I think that Custom SS icon could have a drop-down with custom SS, as in MSO.

In bug 142590 the attachment 172508 [details] has two custom slideshows without spaces in their names, yet if you don't change the selection in the dialog this problem persists. "If renamed to no spaces or run after other custom SS, it runs OK Yes because any of that is a change in this dialog. > C.

The Use custom slide show button sets the default setting there, that's one of the hings it does. Also it seems like if you don't check it, the Start button won't actually start the selected custom slideshow, so it's kinda necessary right now. > Help says that OK (called Close there) closes the dialog and saves all > changes. > Seems that Start behaves with saving, which shouldn't. > > So bug could be about C, or D - adding UX: > > D.

So you don't have to reload the document. So this dialog is kinda tangled right now: - "Start" shows the slide range that is set in the Slide Show Settings dialog (All/From Slide N/Custom slideshow + dropdown), not what you have just selected. - Checking "Use custom ss" changes this range setting to the selected custom slideshow - Unchecking "Use custom ss" sets this range setting to "From Slide 1" IMHO this dialog should not modify the slideshow range, just like it can not in PP. But I can understand that starting the selected custom slideshow could not be implemented without also changing the range, so someone short on time took the shorter route. > E.

I like this idea :) Maybe also place it to the Standard toolbar next to "Start from first slide" and "Start from current slide" buttons.
I propose bug 142595 be about A or B, this one C or D with UX, bug 142613 for E.
This "( ) Use custom slide show" checkbox is pointless. If I'm in the dislog about custom slide shows why would I want to run the full show? My take: drop this option, disable Start unless an item is selected, and fix the bugs. Or we split the creation of custom slideshows (this dialog) from running, as suggested in bug 142613 (not my prefered solution).

I cannot test myself now, but it would be good to note how this was fixed.

Looking good. "( ) Use custom slide show" checkbox wass removed and Start starts the show once. (F5 later starts normal show). As explained in the commit: Now Start button of the dialog starts the selected custom slide show only once, i.e. it doesn't modify the global slide show settings for all the next slide shows (that is already handled by Slide Show->Slide Show Settings->Range->"Custom slide show:" and Slide Show->Slide Show Settings->Range->"All slides"). OK saves changes. "disable Start unless an item is selected" some item is always selected if custom show present, and Start disabled if no custom show, so this is good. Thanks.
