Description boicottms 2013-03-11 15:42:03 UTC 
I would love to be able to use Presenter Console also without a second monitor attached.
I can't always have one (at home, just to say one) just to practice my speech.
I guess it could be in a tab like normal/structure/print...
Thank you

This is an enhancement request - and yes, I see the point. What I usually do (this is for Linux):

Run Xnest like this:

 Xnest -scrns 2 -ac :1

Or run Xephyr like this:

 Xephyr -br +xinerama -screen 1024x768 -origin 1024,0 -screen 640x480+1024+0 :1 -ac

(and then in a shell export DISPLAY=:1.0; ooffice --impress for both cases)

No idea if a similar multi-screen emulation exists for Windows.

Marking as NEW as Thorsten has already said it's an enhancement request and understands the point. 

Leaving priority, seems appropriate. 

@Thorsten - this a potential easy hack?
Comment 3 Joel Madero 2013-03-18 16:26:44 UTC 
Also marking as ALL for platforms, seems like it's not platform specific

More in the sense to look broader for acceptable workarounds - the feature itself is a bit more involved, if implemented inside LibO...
