Description: Working with large presentations (≥40 slides) is cumbersome and heavy. Several improvements are possible. My impression is that a hierarchy in slides of could help. - having a master presentation and link to sub presentations - this is partially available https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142904 but lacks the possibility to follow the link and edit the source. - Dragging a file in the preview could create a link or - having the possibility to export a selection of slides to a new file, and replace them by a link to this file - optionally, have this hierarchy visible in the preview, - and foldable (this is feasible in Keynote, see attachment) - partial saving as automatic saving might take very long. Reduction of the presentation help but - in practise, only a couple of items are modified between saving. - for example, can compressions of unchanged images be saved and reused ? - sub-presentations could also be a candidate Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a large presentation, with large images 2. Work for while with it Actual Results: - Expected Results: - Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: -
Did you try use "Tools - Minimize Presentation" tool for decrease the presentation weight? And please in the future - file different reports for every idea. Added UX team for discussion.
(In reply to Vincent Boudry from comment #0) > Working with large presentations (≥40 slides) is cumbersome and heavy. What is the actual problem? Slow processing, I guess. If so, please describe your presentation, how do you use templates, background images, hardware etc. everything that could explain decrease in performance. Maybe you can share an example. In a recent survey [1] participants reported to have the same number of slides as you, in average, but performance issues was not mentioned often.
