overview mode

[eyerouge]

While showing a presentation with many slides there should be some easy way for the user to go to an "overview" mode that shows all slides, for example something similar to the transitions view, from where it is easy to manually jump to a slide/position within the presentation.

If doing this graphically will be cluttered an easier way would be to present the playlist #44 to the user and let him/her choose where to jump to from there. (This does however mean it would be smooth to be able to name each slide as well so you don't have to remember just numbers and can instead properly identify them by name.)

As a simple unobtrusive solution, the current slide should always be focused. If you’re in Slides view and switch to Overview, the slide you viewed in slides view should be focused on. And if you click »Present«, it should start from the current slide, because mostly Present is a »Preview« feature.

Of course also vice versa, the currently selected slide or last selected slide in Overview should also be focused when switching to Slides view.

And, I don’t think that’s possible at the moment but would be cool – also preserve the slide position when you are in the Presentation and switch back to Slides view. Because one big use case of this is that you’re testing the slides and want to change something with the current Slide or Transition.

What do you think @tantaman ?
