I believe this might be solved by the fix for Bug 33495, which will be available in version 7.5 (you can test the feature now: https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html ) If the presenter console is windowed (and therefore can be moved to any screen), and you start the presentation in the screen you are sharing, wouldn't that cover your needs? I just tried the version mentioned and cannot find any change to the situation. What I need is a switch to change physical displays - not between two, but between all (currently three) monitors. Sounds fair. Having a way to organise where the presenter console and the presentation are when the slideshow has already started seems like a good enhancement. We have Slide Show > Slide Show settings, but it only allows to specify where the Presentation goes, and many users might not know straight away which number corresponds to which display. There could be an easier way to freely reorganise them both at once after starting the presentation. Related bug report is Bug 151634, describing some issues with main display and using the switcher with 3 displays. Switching the presentation display from the console sounds like a nice plan. Does not need to be a dropdown, IMO, but just iterating over the connected devices would be sufficient. Gabor, since you did some work around the presenter console, what do you think? This request sounds like a duplicate of bug 151634. (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #4) > This request sounds like a duplicate of bug 151634. I'd keep the two separate: - This one for an enhancement, adding a control in the console - Bug 151634 for fixing the buggy behaviour in the slide show settings. Admittedly, the same new interface could be user for both, and fix both bugs in one go. |
