Description: Impress "Screen 16:9/4:3" and PowerPoint "On-screen show 16:9/4:3" are sized differently. When I load the files, the screen format is "User". I want to match the sizes for interoperability. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Microsoft Powerpoint 2019/365. 2. Click Design tab -> Slide Size, and select "Custom Slide Size". 3. Select the On-screen show 16:9(4:3,16:10) and check the size. 4. Open Impress. 5. Open Slides -> Slide Properties. 6. Select the Screen 16:9(4:3,16:10) and check the size. PowerPoint and Impress have different sizes for the same screen. see below PowerPoint's screen size: * On-screen Show(16:9): 25.4cm x 14.288cm * On-screen Show(16:10): 25.4cm x 15.875cm * On-screen Show(4:3): 25.4cm x 14.288cm See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/change-the-size-of-your-slides-040a811c-be43-40b9-8d04-0de5ed79987e Impress's screen size: * Screen 16:9: 28.00cm x 15.75cm * Screen 16:10: 28.00cm 17.50cm * Screen 4:3: 28.00cm x 21.00cm Actual Results: load pptx, the size is "User". Expected Results: load pptx(On-screen Show(16:9)), the size is "Screen 16:9". Interoperability will be ensured.

Heiko, I think you made something in this area. What do you think about it?
Sounds like a sensible idea. While paper size is clearly define I'm not aware of similar defaults for presentations. We probably start with metric values while MSO uses imperial numbers (10" vs. 28cm). What do you think, Regina, Eike? I guess the values are easy hackable in i18nutil/source/utility/paper.cxx -> const PageDesc aDinTab[]. But we would also have to change all templates, which makes it quite an effort.
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #2) The current Microsoft PowerPoint default size is widescreen, so it's better to do this first. * https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142286 I am trying to add widescreen, but can't get it to work.
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #2) > I guess the values are easy hackable in i18nutil/source/utility/paper.cxx -> > const PageDesc aDinTab[]. Definitions of paper sizes are not related to screen ratio and sizes.
I'm afraid that changing to a 'pt' based size as default will not please most users outside US. I would only add such formats to the list of named formats.
(In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #5) > I would only add such formats to the list of named formats. To duplicate the screen presentation formats sounds weird and confusing to me. * Screen 16:9 * Screen 16:10 * Screen 4:3 * On-Screen Show 16:9 * On-Screen Show 16:10 * On-Screen Show 4:3 Average users wonder what the difference between Screen and On-Screen Show might be. And the inch-crooked values are in the list anyway. Thought https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_size could be a basis for reasoning but neither 25.4 nor 28cm fit on typical displays and need scaling.

Scaling is done by the graphic card when running the slide show. The size here is relevant for editing, printing and PDF export, and should harmonize with the grid unit. You could add the size incl. units in brackets, same as PowerPoint does it for page sizes.
Created attachment 172258 [details] PowerPoint compatible screensize patch This patch adds a powerpoint compatible preset screen size. (Widescreen, On-screen show (4:3), On-screen show (16:9), On-screen show (16:10)) It was created with the intention that when a file created in Impress is loaded in PowerPoint, it will be the PowerPoint preset size compatible.
Thanks for the patch, looks promising. Please submit to Gerrit and make sure the slide format wont become User by adopting the new sizes.
WFM in 7.3+.
I haven't checked in detail, but I presume the following is the fixing commit, thanks Jun! https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=6d4a1716624a8a045ff4e90bd221b563be44be11 Add PowerPoint compatible screen size for Impress

I assume it was a typo.
