Tickets/Topics

* Impress: change Custom Slide Show toolbar icon to dropdown + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142613 + add UNO command / widget that lists custom slideshows and run it on click => no objection, do it

* Want character width scale button+mini-dialog + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142827 + no requirement / little benefit (Stuart) + +1, users want quick access (Thomas) + -1, too many features spoil the party; only frequently used attributes need to be on toolbars (Heiko) + should be available but not shown by default (Eyal) + unclear if "text-scale" can be a percentage of default font metric to horizontally scale either a Text run 'T1' or to a Paragraph 'P1' (Stuart) => subject to provision of percentage, let's do it

* Split the current "Help" menu into three separate top-level menus (instead of one) to separate help content, bug-reporting content, and 'about' content + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142830 + no benefit (Stuart) + no user has been struggling with the Help menu (Mike) + first, root level items should organize the menu not give access to seldom used function; introducing an inbuilt bugtracking feature might be interesting but not at a different (sub-)menu (Heiko) => WF

* There is no provision to export/import user-settings + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52387 * Make configuration extensionizable + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59493 + exporting the configuration makes not much sense (in contrast    to what said in bug 59493, c5 (Heiko)   + topic is delicate regarding privacy/security   + unclear use case; for personal use the registrymodification.xcu     can be copy/pasted right now   => WF
