           Summary: Outliner in Impress as basis for outlining component?
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: garethsljones at gmail.com


Suggestion: the Outline view in Impress (View/Outline) should be the basis of a
specialized outlining component or be made available 

Rationale: Linux has a shortage of single-pane outlining programs such as
OmniOutliner on the Mac or Ecco Pro on Windows. Ironically, the closest program
to meeting this need is the outline view in LibreOffice Impress. However, some
defaults (such as the large fonts that suit the slides) make no sense to
someone who merely wants to make outlines. In addition, an outliner is of most
use to a writer who might not think to find the tool in the View menu of a
Presentation program. If the existing code to create outlines became EITHER a
full component of LibreOffice OR available in a Writer document THEN it could
be have its own set of preferences set that do not interfere with those that
are useful for slides AND would be more easily discoverable by the writers who
need it.
