Description Eyal Rozenberg 2024-04-25 13:27:45 UTC
Suppose I have two different presentations I've opened in Impress, and two different monitors connected to my computer.

I would like to be able to "slideshow" both presentations at once on my two monitors, without them interfering with each other. AFAICT, this is not currently doable.

Notes:

* This bug is not about how exactly the progression through each of the two slideshows is to be managed.
* This is a part of the ask in bug 160242, which combined too many things it seems.

I am able to run two presentations at the same time in the one installation of LO, but not able to set a different Presentation Display to each one: changing it for one switches is for the other one as well.

UX/Design, should we make it possible to change that Slide Show Setting independently for each window somehow?

Bug 160242 was rejected with the idea to start Impress twice (shift click under Windows), and to control the workflow via a third monitor. Consequently this "control center" needs to be able to use different screens for presentation. => +1

Note that I am not asking specifically for something like a third-monitor control center. In fact, I'd rather the solution to this bug not require using three monitor, or writing more code for a control center, or what-not. I mean, that could also happen perhaps, I'd just like something simple and straightforward to also be possible.
