Clone Item question

I really like the clone item feature, but there's one thing I would like to see. Is there a way to change the title of the item that displays in the left panel without changing all the clone's titles?

For example I use the same slide multiple times during a memorial service whereas the title indicates what is going on, such as welcome, eulogy, family sharing, message, etc., sometimes I have names associated with the activity.

The clone feature allows all the slide content to remain in sync quite handily, but I lose the description.

I really hope I'm missing something.

May I just add a 'me too' to this thread. Using the same slide with a title that matches what is actually happening during a service is the way I work for funerals and weddings.

Developers are welcome to have a look at my account to see how this works in practice.

May I also remind the developers that users have to keep disproportionately long titles for slides so that they can relocate that slide in the media bank if they wish to use it for another purpose. Having the name of the current background slide in the background tab would be really useful.

Thanks for the feedback. We are considering changes to cloned item to add some of these additional tweaks. For example, we have heard feedback for titles and for things like auto advance and auto advance time.

Perhaps our clones should be more about the slides themselves, and let the title, audio, timing, transition, etc be changed individually.

Good reminder Mike. This continues to be a request. We do have a facet in the media browser that shows all the series currently in use, but still requires some spelunking to find the right media.

A dictionary search of 'spelunking' threw as much light on the reply as the 'facet in the media browser' tends to throw on the background I am trying to find.

One problem is that the media in Proclaim Pro seems to be designed for a specific cult that is not really suitable for use in the 'reformed' church in the UK hence I usually have to find media from outside sources.

It would be good if the design team could be given a copy of RCL and directed to create media for the 30 days hence taking into account the Christian Season (colour, reading, theme etc).

Suggested media might then be useful rather than annoyingly frustrating.

New question: Is there any way to unclone a clone or the clonee?

I cloned a slide and then realized that it had some characteristics which didn't suit the new location. If I change those, it will also change the original.

P.s. too late for "undo"

you can 'duplicate' either one via right-click and that will give you a copy to then modify. You would then delete the clone. Also, it doesn't matter which item is deleted or which is duplicated, as once they are clones they are essentially the same item in the list twice.

That's what I did, but I wondered if there was a better way.
