------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Aug 7 15:02:48 +0000 2007 ------- Raindrops ->Ragina: Sorry - None of your observations/workarounds make much sense to me. **** @transparency by accident: When created, the rectangles are NOT transparent. The user has to MAKE them transparent by changing their properties. Such transparent text finds many uses in animations, where they are usually kept overlapping on some other image. In short, this is NEVER by accident, but by design. So Impress MUST be able to handle them. *** @using TABs to select a image: Using TAB is absolutely unworkable solution if you are trying to pick more than one objects (out of several present on the slide). And even if I am trying to select just one image, why should I go TAB, TAB, TAB, TAB... till I reach the desired rectangle? I may easily overshoot may target, in which case I may have to start all over again! *** @naming objects to see them in Navigator: Why should we have to name objects just to see them in Navigator? That's needless hard work! After all, we are not getting any benefits by naming them. In comparison, in Calc a named range can be used in a formula. What use does this named rectangle/arrow/image have in Impress? We are not proposing to turn this into a chess game, are we? There we have "move White Queen to D4". Similarly, in Impress we can say "move FIDO (a rectangle that we have lovingly named) upward by 0.675 cm" :D **** OK if you absolutely need the names, let Impress itself provide dummy names. (Do not ask the users to do this job.) An example template is- Image type + sequence of creation. e.g. rect005, arrow024, etc. Note that Impress automatically gives (arbitrary) names when we apply custom animation to any object. Apparently it maintains an internal list. Why not show it in the Navigator? Allow user to rename these generic names if he wants. (But I guess that only a few people would ever want to name their rectangles in this whole wide world.) ***** I can raise enhancement issues if you want.. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
