Two simple features would make the presentation feature much better:

  1. Automatically utilize frames as slides:
    Allow for frames to be used as slides. Content is frequently already placed on frames to facilitate grouping and moving things on a big board. Having to overlay frames with slides and and then manually follow any frame changes (resizes, movements, etc.) with the frames could be avoided by allowing frames to be used as slides.
  2. Enabling slides to be used multiple times in a presentation sequence:
    One of the benefits of having the presentation in lucid is to provide an overview of of everything and then zoom in on certain aspects. Between different sections of a presentation I like to zoom out to provide that birds-eye overview of how everything is connected.
    When a presentation has multiple section, this means I have to have multiple overview slides over everything again and again.
    This could be resolved by allowing slides to be used multiple times in a presentation,

Thank you for considering

I second this! It would be really nice to not have to put a frame over a slide to have it drag everything within it. My biggest issue with the presentation is if I put stuff in the slide and drag the slide, the things inside of it don’t drag with it. I also think it would be nice to be able to change the background color of slides rather than just defaulting to the white/gray lucid background.
