- show the slide settings dialogue immediately. This would allow the user to change the slide layout as well as the title immediately.
- place focus in the slide title area immediately. This would encourage users to change the slide title but wouldn't allow them change the layout quickly.
- place focus in the tree in order to edit slide title. I don't like this option as (a) the tree may not be visible at the time and(b) it takes the users focus away from the slide area.
Opetion 2 is probably easiest to implement at the moment the current behaviour but I think option 1 may become more relevent when we have implemented layouts further.
