Hi
While working on chapter formatting and cleanup, I found quite hard to
access images from the Navigator, because the "name" displayed in the
Navigator is random not connected to the image caption or caption
sequence number.
I wrote a small BASIC script that fills the image properties fields
"Name", "Title" and "Description" with the contents of the caption, in
this order:
Name = "Figure nn", where nn is the caption number
Title = the complete caption e.g. "Figure 12: the paragraph area dialog"
Description = the text of the caption, for example "the paragraph area
dialog".
Note: "Title" is also known as image ALT text.
I have not seen any specific usage of these 3 properties in our chapters
so I don't expect to break anything. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The script can be run any time during edition. Previous image naming is
overwritten. Caption sequence numbers are not affected, so the
references in the text are maintained.
A side benefit of the script is to improve the accessibility of the
guides, as explained in this wiki page

Comments welcome.
