Apparently the number of slides per row is not persistent. It is neither saved to the file, nor to the registry (at the application level). @Cor, what do you propose? You would like to have it saved to the file?
Hi Rafael, (In reply to Rafael Lima from comment #3) > Apparently the number of slides per row is not persistent. Could it be that the hard coded 4* is interpreted as number on Windows and as index on Linux? *) https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sd/source/ui/view/frmview.cxx?r=83f7c6fe#225 > @Cor, what do you propose?

I'm also on Linux 5.15 (Ubuntu 20.04) and I only get 4 slides per row - which based on the code patch is exactly what I would expect to get. So I'm a little concerned you seeing 5 "by default". Your

So I'm > a little concerned you seeing 5 "by default". I didn't try to figure out where the difference comes from. Could be some calculation based on e.g. metric of some default font, or .. Giving the user the option to set a number (thanks for commenting on the patch!) at least gives influence. But it may be nice/better to try to figure out that later, indeed.
Cor Nouws committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/7c2ed9919d6d9d286d9062b91577d6bb2b7de8aa tdf#160601 add expert option for default slides per row in slide sorter It will be available in 24.8.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
The "SorterSlidesPerRow" expert config stanza takes differing count and applies on restart of Impress. Entering 2, 3, 5, or 6 instead of default 4 responds accordingly. Thumbnails on the sorter shrink or expand to fit the count of slides on the sorter.

thanks for verifying etc. Previous to this patch, as explained, it was hard coded as 4. The number had different outcomes in different installations: 4 or 5. Possibly a difference between Windows and Linux..? Few developers I spoke with, suggested that there might be some calculation based on e.g. a default font or ... If that still appears to be the case (on my installation, setting to 4 now does translate in 4 as result..) we may get reports from users (after the release notes) and I suggest that it then is interesting to find out the root cause of that.
