Hi devs,
I miss 2 things in any presentation software I know:
1. In Impress I would like to have "Table of Contents" and "alphabetical
Index" as it is so nicely made in Writer.
2. "Custom slide show" is a nice feature, but when working with a
customized slide show, the page numbering is still the one of the
complete slide show. So it could happen, that after slide 2 the slide 9
follows.
After digging around, I think, I should be able to program the
neededfeatures (ToC, slide numbers matching custom slide show) on my own.
I would prefer to use Python and PyUNO for this.
Before I start, I would like to ask the list for giving me feedback for
thefollowing questions:
1. For generating a ToC I need to store somewhere, if the title
shouldappear in the ToC or not.
Where can I store this information?I found the "Description" and the
"Name" tags I could use but I fear, thatthis will interact with other
software also using these tags...
2. Maybe I want to add also an alphabetical Index linking to the
mostimportant keywords at the end of the presentation (people will geta
printed version of the slide show).
Where can I store the information, that a specific word should appear
inthis Index? You know I see problem with using "Description" and "Name"
tags.
For an index it is again more complicate since a word itself has
no"Description" tag.Using the "Description" tag of the object, in which
the text appears, givesthe problem, that deleting the text does not
automatically delete the entry
--> How can I detect in that case, that the word is deleted except doing
arescan all the time?
3. Is Python/PyUNO the good choice for programming this feature in Impress?
Can you give me Pro´s and Con´s?
4. What´s about the needed skills? Do you think, this project is
feasiblefor someone who made up to now only very small standalone apps
"just forfun" in Python?
Thanks for your remarks
Chynte
