Hi Bernhard,
I'm sorry that I don't have any solution for you except to look at
the gengal tool that is in one of the OOo program directories. I never
used it but it maybe does what you need.
Beside that I think it is time that we start re designing the gallery
as it is really comming of age.
Right now I have the following improvements on my mental list:
- make it possible to add new gallery themes with extensions
- make it possible to add templates and slides to the gallery
- add online content access to the gallery (facebook, youtube, e.t.c.)
All in all I love the gallery to become more like an "asset manager"
than just a place with some clip art. Adding search and taging
functionality. Maybe even shared galleries.
I may create an initial wiki page so anyone who likes to work with
me on this please drop a note. But this is definitly something for
the time after OOo 3.2 is finished.
Regards,
Christian

Hi all,
I don't want to keep you off the discussion (and work) for the
SVG-implementation really needed, but as I try to improve the clipart
gallery by providing the present gallery themes (mainly from the 2006
Documentation Project contest, see [1]) as extensions, there are a few
topics I want to address one by one, if I know about the right people to
ask.
For the moment my most important point is:
- If I add some files from my file system to a gallery theme, they are
not embedded, but linked to it.
After creation of an extension anybody else can't use them, because the
links still point to my computer [2].
Do I really have to copy every single clipart to a document and
re-insert it to the gallery? This would take much more time than I
wanted to invest on that task.
Is there a way I didn't see?
Best regards
Bernhard
