    Move "Enable Impress Remote" setting to presentation settings
    
    Instead of hiding it in the generic options dialog.
    
    This moves the last presentation related option to the presentation settings.

Apparently the LibreOffice documentation and the description within the Impress Remote app have not been updated yet.

Does it work as expected when you look for it there?

OP replied via email:
"Solution given worked perfectly. Thank you."

-> That leaves the documentation to be updated. Setting to NEW.
