It would be desirable to insert "Slide names" instead of slide numbers in slides. so, having something like "Insert->Fields->Slide Name" would be desirable. As an extension, a feature similar to writer's "Insert->Fields->Other" could be looked at. Code references (I only dug up a little): http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/scripting/workben/bindings/impressmenubar.xml#164 http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sd/inc/sdcommands.h#164 http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sd/uiconfig/simpress/menubar/menubar.xml#147 http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/DrawImpressCommands.xcu#525 http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sd/sdi/sdraw.sdi#3455 "SID_INSERT_FLD_PAGE": http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/search?q=SID_INSERT_FLD_PAGE&project=core Getting names: There are helper functions depending on the context of the code. Something like SdPage::GetName(...) should do.
Deleted "Easyhack" from summary.
Marking this as NEW and LOW Enhancement. Think it's useful for some but ultimately it doesn't add a ton of functionality, just a bit more convenient. Thanks for the suggestion
I guess multiple people are attempting this one. So, I thought I should mention these (for more information): http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Need-Help-for-Bug-47302-Adding-a-new-field-in-quot-Insert-gt-Fields-quot-td4037243.html and http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Need-Help-for-Bug-47302-tt4047263.html
Created attachment 79276 [details] A patch for the SvxPageTitleField in Draw and Impress This patch adds the Page Title field, and data relating to it (namely the SvxPageTitleField class). This is my first patch proposal, so let me know if there's anything else I should do, or if you have any comments.
I see only code removal in the attached patch :( Am I missing something please? A better patch is in http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Patch-Bug-47302-Adding-a-new-field-in-quot-Insert-gt-Fields-quot-td4052021.html
adding LibreOffice developer list as CC to unresolved EasyHacks for better visibility. see e.g. http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/minutes-of-ESC-call-td4076214.html for details
