[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 132337] Export Notes only feature desired

--- Comment #4 from Daniel Collins <dcollins at superdan.net> ---
This is disappointing. None of the linked bugs address any of the use-cases
brought up in this feature request.

(1) The single-monitor use is not solved by bug 62179, and this request is not
a duplicate of that one. That bug request is to see the presenter view on the
one monitor for rehearsal/timing purposes. In contrast, this new feature
request is for actually showing the presentation to an audience, while having
access to the notes in a separate concise document, on a different device or
printout.

(2) As stated at the outset, this feature is NOT about the NOTES SLIDES PAGES,
so the export feature bug 45498 does not apply. This feature desires a concise
script with JUST NOTES alone. For example: We may have a long presentation with
just a few notes. Exporting and printing the entire presentation, with most
pages having no notes, is wasteful and not usable in practice.

(3) The suggestion that this is some bug in outside software is a misdirection.
For example, Blackboard Learn is the most widely used learning management
system in academia, and its videoconferencing system Collaborate is now in
heavy use for distance learning. That system can present to audience members
PDFs that instructors have created and exported in Impress, but we need some
outside way to access the notes script. That system does not interface directly
with Impress, and it surely never will. 

In short: There is a critical need for a concise Notes script, on a
disconnected device or printout, in many cases where the presentation is being
displayed to audiences with only a single display available (in person or
online). Without this feature, many instructors who wish to use Impress for
presentation creation (as evidenced by the links at top) will need to keep
spending time making manual copies of their notes, on an ongoing basis.
