Background - Recent

Mike Binks

So here I am again struggling with the UI.

1. I have decided that my background theme for the week will be 'Go make disciples' and have copied all slides in that set to the Post Service loop so that I can duplicate and use them.

2. I have retrieved the hymn 'Crown him with many crowns' from 'Re-use Items' this item has a backing track and I know that words that show on the screen will match the words on the track.

3. Now I want to change the background for my hymn and it seems a real hassle.

Wouldn't it be good if there were a 'Recently Used' selection to go with the 'Browse Media' and 'Import' options?

Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a 'Set for All Songs' button to go with the suggestion above?

I am sure both would save me a lot of faffing about.

Hi Mike,

To clarify are you struggling to find a background you had used in the past that you're hoping to reuse? If you're trying to use the "Go Make Disciples" media you should be able to see a board on the left hand side in the media library that lists media used. I believe the behavior would be any media you apply to slides for that service will show there. I don't think it will update if media is being reused from another presentation. Therefore that board would basically be a recently used for all slides in that service outside of reused items and should show up under your presentation title "210124 Mark 1 14-20 Mike". If you were trying to change media to Go Make Disciples you could bulk highlight your song thumbnails and select background and browse media to update all songs.
