Description: Currently, the value of the "Show navigation panel" parameter for presentations is not saved. The section in which this setting is now located, apparently, is saved in files. It might make sense to move this setting to Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Impress -> General, because it relates to the device rather than the slideshow. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Impress, create a presentation 2. Enable "Show navigation panel" in Slide show -> Slide show settings... 3. Restart impress, create a new presentation 4. Start presentation Actual Results: Navigation panel is not visible Expected Results: Navigation panel is visible Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:
It should be saved per file, I think. But it is not saved, neither per file nor Impress app. Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 9eb419b0b0f019f5fbc48ff1a11977e8b041edee CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22621; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded

Before we can start fixing this problem, we need to decide where to save these settings. The feature was originally conceived for devices on which it is impossible or difficult to use a mouse (for example, on interactive whiteboards). For these devices, it seems it would be better to save the setting per Impress app rather than per file.
Let's check with UX/Design where such a setting should live. My gut-feeling is agreeing with you, that if it's expected to be user profile-dependent, the option should be in Tools > Options > LibreOffice Impress > General > Presentation.
The options in Slide Show Settings should all apply to the workstation, eg. whether it is capable playing animations or whether you need the buttons to click through the presentation. Plus, saving some options with the document and others at the workstation is barely comprehensible for users. So make it consistent.

We added a patch to Gerrit with the transfer of the navigation panel in presentations, can you tell, who we can invite to the review?

Great work! Can we backport this patch to version 7.6.3?
(In reply to Amin Irgaliev from comment #8) > Can we backport this patch to version 7.6.3? We usually do not backport enhancements. Keep the thrill of anticipation :-)

This option has not been saved previously. People who use, for example, interactive boards often use this option. Therefore, we thought that the faster the version with this patch comes out, the better.

But if it can cause difficulties, then all right.
There is always the possibility of asking for a UI Freeze exception on the l10n list, so that the translated strings are exceptionally unblocked for this enhancement.
