Summary0006551: Masterpage-Layer handling suggestion.
DescriptionCurrently it is not possible to use masterpages and a unique background image for each page since this background image would alway cover the masterpage.

Following approach to solve this issue:
Let's assume

- every page is a layer
- every layer has an ordernumber (the layerdialog lists the layer sorted by this)
- layer with order 0 is the default page.
- every ordernumber is unique.

1. every document has a defualt Layer wich can not be deleted -> pagelayer
2. this layer has the order 0 Let's assume ...
3. every Masterpage is "just" another layer which can not be deleted (but be invisible).
4. the Masterpage layer cannot be on top of the default pagelayer.
5. this layer has the order < 0

If you add a new layer and assign an order < 0
This layer will be in the background

Ordernumbers:
-2 MySpeciallayer for the background image for this current page
-1 Masterpage
0 default page layer
1 ontop elements

Or simple:
The masterpage is "just" another layer which is placed on each page in the right order.

P.S. Sorry for eventually posting this a second time, but I didn't find the original (if there is one) thread.

IMHO, this means confusing two different concepts.

I donn't think that it is mixing up to different concepts.
You still have boths.
For the user, the masterpage is still a masterpage and the layers are still layers.
He just sees ALL layers in their right order in the layerdialog. Where the masterpage layer could be for example highlightet

This looks like a duplicate of 0004399 and 0005820.
Currently page are drawn in this order :
    for each layer
        draw master page objects
    for each layer
        draw normal page objects
I plan to change that behavior right after 1.3.5 release. In 1.3.6svn the order will be :
    for each layer
        draw master page objects
        draw normal page objects
It will then be possible to specify layers in such a way each page will use a different background image while having master elements in front of them.
