Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 71505
add presenter view to enhance multiple monitor presentations
Last modified: 2007-04-10 05:13:56 UTC
Issue 12719 implements dual-head presentation mode, but there should also be better controls on the control (non-display) monitor. CURRENT STATUS Currently the control monitor disables most controls (such as the menus, the task pane, etc) except switching slides. - If the slide show starts in the slide sorter view, for example, it's very confusing since it's not possible to change the displayed slides from the slide sorter view. - Currently, the user may try to toggle the slide show mode with F5 or the menu Slide Slide->Slide Show, but both of those are disabled. Some the requested controls are available through the context menu on the presentation monitor, but that defeats much of the purpose of multiple monitors. ;) SPECS When a multiple monitor slide show is started, the control monitor automatically should go into the the new "presenter" view which has these features: - A button to turn the presentation black. This would be used, for example, if there is a problem and the presentation should be aborted. - A button to abort the slide show. - A task pane for previewing and changing slides. - A window to display the current slide (or black if the black-out button is enabled). - A window to display the notes of the current slide. - A status like "Slide [current slide #] of [# of total slides]". - A timer that begins when the slide show starts. COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS PowerPoint 2003 implements these enhancements as what it calls the "presenter view" on the control monitor. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint/HA010565471033.aspx http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint/HP030893951033.aspx
It looks like someone already wrote a specification: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Impress_presenter_mode_specification#Competitive_Analyses
