Storyline 360: Create new scene from existing slide
I have already submitted a feature request for this, but I'm interested in hearing how many others would utilize the feature I have suggested. One of the most annoying things about creating a new scene is the blank slide inserted as a default -- it does not default to my preferred layout, and I may already have existing slides in another scene that I'd like to place in the new scene. Rather than:
1. creating a new scene
2. dragging the existing slide to the new scene
3. deleting the "placeholder" blank slide that was created with the new scene
I would like to right-click an existing slide and have the option to "Create new scene from slide". This would allow me to move the slide AND create a new scene simultaneously. Bonus points would be awarded for naming the new scene with the same name as the slide being moved. I've attached a mock-up of how this could appear in the menu.

Since you are interested in hearing, this is certainly NOT a feature I would use. Creating new scenes is a low frequency activity for me, so the onerous (sarcasm intended) three steps you describe are not a problem for me.
plus 1. this would be super helpful after importing PowerPoint slides.
Agree this would be extremely helpful for those of us who create storyboards in PPT for SMEs then import as @Gary notes above.
Having been around a while, this is reminiscent of right-clicking on one or more icons on the flowline in Macromedia Authorware and selecting "Group." That would put the icon(s) into a Map Icon (similar to a folder in Windows) and (if I remember right) automatically naming it with the first-selected icon's title.
