before and after of the menu

After frequent viewing of the impress menubar, i found it quite disorganized when compared to the writer and calc menubars, so here is a suggest reorganization.

The after screenshot doesnt show View > Headers and Footers that should either be in the Edit or Format menus and View > Start from first Slide is removed as its already in the Slide Show menu.
Comment 1 A (Andy) 2014-11-12 23:03:04 UTC
For me this looks very good.  I am surprised that I did not notice this disorganisation before.  With this very good proposal the first section in the menu VIEW is sorted as the tabs above the slides and it is also then consistent with the organisation in CALC and WRITER, but the position of the entry SIDEBAR should be the same in WRITER, CALC and IMPRESS.
Furthermore, if this change would be done it should also be similar done in DRAW.  Then we would have a consistency in the different LO applications.

Note: One difference I have is that I don't have the CLIP ART GALLERY entry in my LO 4.3?  

Regarding the entry HEADER AND FOOTER I agree it should be moved, maybe to INSERT.
In CALC you the find a menu item "Headers & Footers" in the menu EDIT.  In WRITER we have two menu items "Header" and "Footer" in the menu INSERT.  In IMPRESS it is currently a menu item named "Header and Footer" in the menu VIEW.  INSERT seems for me to be logical because with this function you would insert a header or footer.  But the naming should also be similar (-> small typing differences in CALC and IMPRESS). 

Reproducible with LO 4.3.3.2, Win 8.1.

Edit would be my choice.

Agreed.

Only I doubt a bit about the Ruler. I would think that belongs in the next group, with Grid, since it refers the active slide. But it's more my feeling that a - IMO - strong argument..
What do you think?

Yes i will add a similar reorganization of the sidebar section to calc and writer.

Yes it would be good to do it for Draw as well, to bring the consistency with all the apps.

> Note: One difference I have is that I don't have the CLIP ART GALLERY entry
> in my LO 4.3?  

Tools > Gallery has been moved to View > Clip Art Gallery in 4.4.

I find this a major problem of having it in different places in different apps. With impress, after editing the dialog, it inserts details into the slide, so INSERT does seem logical here. I think it also seems logical to do the same for calc to keep the consistency between the apps and even there you are inserting.

(In reply to Cor Nouws from comment #2)
> Edit would be my choice.

I was always favoring FORMAT, but after Andy's suggestion of INSERT, i think that is more suitable. I was favoring FORMAT because though you are inserting and editing the header and footer, you are also changing the way it looks and how its is being organized.

> Only I doubt a bit about the Ruler. I would think that belongs in the next

I had put Grid separate from Ruler as i was keeping the section with Ruler with entries that change the UI outside of the document area, and the section with Grid with entries that effect things in the document area.

Comment 9 Mike §chinagl 2014-12-20 22:37:28 UTC
This bug fix comes with LibreOffice 4.4 (release notes https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.4) 

The View menu was reorganized to better unify its items similar to Writer and Calc.
Comment 10 Kandra Johns 2022-11-08 15:45:13 UTC
This is one of the most useful feature of the Windows that it provides view menus from where we can manage the multiple tasks at the same time. I have been using this feature for years but the recent update of it is really annoying. I have to share it here that developers need to resolve issues with it as soon as possible. Now I will read https://www.bestessayservicereviews.com/dissertation-writing-services-reviews/ article as it was sent by my friend who wants me to hire a writer for him online for his dissertation because his English is really weak and he cannot write it by himself.
Comment 11 Mathew Aderson 2022-12-17 03:50:51 UTC
Each action (add, edit, remove, or move) when updating your menus counts as a change. When you reach 200 changes, you are unable to take any more action until you save your menu changes. https://wordhurdle.co

Comment 45 Tanisha Delgado 2024-10-29 12:07:32 UTC
Since Headers and Footers pertains to slide structure and formatting, it could logically belong in the Format menu. This change aligns the menus more consistently with Writer and Calc, where similar features are found. https://ragdollhitgame.com
Comment 46 geometrydashlitepc 2024-11-13 03:37:35 UTC
Position the most frequently accessed functions at the top or in a quick-access section. These could be options like zoom, show grid, or fullscreen mode. Ensure the menu items are clearly labeled, avoiding technical jargon. For example, instead of "Toggle Sidebar Visibility", you could simply use "Show/Hide Sidebar". Allow users to customize their View menu if possible, giving them control over the order of items or enabling/disabling certain options that are rarely used. https://geometrydashlitepc.io
