<div dir="ltr"><div>Hey Michel!</div><div> </div><div>I am glad you are even interested to work on the same and yeah even i have researched quite a lot about the same and as i had suggested we should provide the user with an option for adding custom animation to TEXT(as in which slide no. to apply the effect,etc.) Hence i would like to hear more from you as i am planning to work on the same and hence to contribute better,i am sure more the suggestions and ideas the better it turns out to be.</div>
<div> </div><div>I know that this is a huge idea that has to be put into place but i will try the best from my end so as to contribute in an efficient manner.</div><div> </div><div>Regards,</div><div>Janit</div></div><div class="gmail_extra">

Hi guys,<br>
<br>
Janit was volunteering to look into<br>
<br>
<a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41572" target="_blank">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/<u></u>show_bug.cgi?id=41572</a><br>
<br>
and is struggling a bit how to best achieve that. The bug report there<br>
muddles a few things up it seems, it is also not entirely clear what<br>
should happen if one assigns a new master page to an existing slide.<br>
<br>
Another idea Janit was pondering is to not use the master page<br>
concept, but rather provide bulk-assignment options in the custom<br>
animation pane (comparable to the slide transitions - selected slides<br>
in the slide sorter get the effect). Though clearly that needs some<br>
fleshing-out.<br>
<br>
Would someone here want to work with him to come up with a nice<br>
workflow for this very useful feature?<br>

It's a subject I've been investigating months ago as it's a basic feature of a slideshow software. But I got no perfect solution yet...<br>
disclaimer : I searched ideas to easily apply appearance animation on slide objects and lines in textfield. It's not exactly this bug, but it's related.<br>
<br>
Beside the UX problem, I've seen something more annoying that seems technically-related :<br>
- enter several lines in the main content textfield<br>
- apply an animation : every line will appear after one click<br>
- then insert some new lines in the textfield<br>
--> the existing animation is not updated and provide an awfull order of appearance.<br>
<br>
This problem is related to technical implementation : there are objects of type 'animation' linked to objects in the slide.<br>
<br>
In order to solve those problems (fdo#41572 and the update), we need to know what changes are possible form a dev point of view ?<br>
here are some questions as a first brainstorm :<br>
- are we stuck with a separation betweens objects in slides and animation objects ? is it related to ODF format ?<br>
- can we imagine some visual changes of objects to indicate the order of appearance ?<br>
<br>
The idea of using master slide for that is interesting, but will not cover all uses case (when a user just want that effect on only one slide for ex).<br>
<br>
This functionality is so important that we have to create a very good UX design, and prepare/prototype everything before starting a single line of code.<br>
<br>
As you may have guessed, I'm interested to work on this subject ;-)<br>
I hope you're ok.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Michel<br>
