Identification of images/slides

[Peter S]

Igor,

I am not sure if my problem is unique or if others would appreciate an improved facility for identifying variations on slides that are frequently repeated.

I am using one jpg image as a background for numerous slides that all have different text and moving objects. I thought that using one image would save file size. I am however finding it difficult to keep track of which slide contains which animation in the "Slide List" which I prefer to view as thumbnails. I can change the name on the Common tab in O & A but this name does not appear on the Slide List. It would help me greatly if it appeared underneath the original file name below the thumbnail.

Although it is not quite the same as the request under the "Indication of animation on slides" it would in effect answer that question as well.

Peter,

I was replying to one of your Posts in a different Thread when I spotted your Post above. I too used to have problems in keeping track of 'Base Image JPegs' and 'Secondary Variations' of the Base Image.

* I designed a method of Enumeration with Alpha-Numerics which may be helpful with your dilema:-

* Take the Letters from A to Z

* Take the Numbers from 0 to 9

* Sectionalize or Paragraph your SlideShow as follows:-

Paragraph-1 (Image Enumeration)

AA-00 ~to~ AA-99

This gives 100 Slides where whole decadic Numbers could be 'Base Images' ~ So AA-00 and AA-20 could be Base-Slides and others such as AA-01, AA-02, AA-03 could be variations of AA-00 or intermediary Slides.

Paragraph-2 (Image Enumeration)

BB-00 ~to~ BB-99

Again BB-00 is a 'Base-Slide' and variationss could be BB-01, BB-02, BB-03 up to BB-09 and BB-10 could be a Base-Slide in Paragraph 2 as it contains a whole decadic number. And so on to BB-99

NOTE:- This does not effect the continuity nor the smoothness of a PTE Slideshow.

This system makes it very easy to 'inject' New Slides into any Paragraph as the paragraphs are identified by 'Letters' and the Slides themselves are identified by Letter & Number. You can also leave 'spaces' in the sequences eg:- AA-24 to AA-27 (2 spaces) this to do what you wish without having to re-enumerate the lot.

My System can accomodate up to 2600 Slides and thats a Hell-of-a-Lot for a 4-Digit Code.

You can expand any Paragraph by adding a suffix Letter such as AB, AC, AD, or an extra Numeral AA-999 sic !

I hope my method may be of help.....
