Description: Starting a larger presentation (in my case around 4MB) takes quite a while on an iPad and the user does not get a loading indicator. In my case it takes 12 seconds until the presentation starts - this is too long for a user and should be imprved. While it would be good to speed up the loading itself, I think a loading indicator would already improve the situation quite a bit. So maybe show a gray overlay with a spinning circle so the user knows, something is happening. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the attached slide deck 2. Start presentation mode Actual Results: It takes approx 12s (on my 2018 iPad) to initially load the presentation and during loading no indicator, that something is happening is shown. Expected Results: Either loading should be more or less instantly or a loading indicator should show some activity so the user knows the app is working on something. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:

The issue is still present in 6.4.7 (1)
Created attachment 170694 [details] "normal" file, not a tempalte Templates can't be opened in the iOS app (yet)
The example file I provided today loads in 1~2s - which is perfectly acceptable. Maybe bigger presentations will still load slow and thus the issue maybe still needs to be open. I'll try to find a bigger presentation and try that too. Will report back.
I tested a presentation of 84MB - the file itself loads fast and switching to presentation mode still takes about 5~7s. This is not too bad; but I still believe, showing an animation which indicated that the app is working, would be a good thing.
