Presentation with Images and Captions

Add a functionality to the Photo Album feature that automatically creates captions for each Slide.

Look at the attached presentation how they should look like (this has beek approved by the Design team).

You need to add a checkbox to the Dialog saying "Add Caption to each Slide": http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sd/uiconfig/simpress/ui/photoalbum.ui

Then implement it here: http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sd/source/ui/dlg/PhotoAlbumDialog.cxx

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

Comment 6 Samuel Mehrbrodt (allotropia) 2014-02-15 12:42:08 UTC
Maybe someone else from the developers can help out? (Dev List is in CC)
Comment 7 Rishabh 2015-02-03 18:44:25 UTC
I hope the captions are to be added by creating a text box of black color right. If so, How is the size of text box determined? Is it adjusted according to the size of the text or it spans across the entire slide (slide 1 and slide 2)?
Comment 8 Ganesh Prabu 2015-02-08 07:58:30 UTC
Can someone please tell me how to add a text object in a slide?
Comment 9 Rishabh 2015-02-08 22:21:21 UTC
Any suggestions on what the default caption will be? (ex:click to add text/ caption or an empty field)
Comment 10 Rishabh 2015-02-12 18:18:12 UTC
I have almost completed the patch and before I submit it for review , any suggestions if I am missing on any requirement. The patch creates a rectangular box with attributes-
Color:Black
Transparency: Solid  20%
Any clarification, if it needs to have any default text (Click to insert Title/Caption) and size of the rectangular box(standard or anything else)?
Comment 11 Eike Rathke 2015-02-16 13:20:43 UTC
The attached example presentation on the last slide has "Click to add Title" so I'd use that. For size I'd use the width of the image/slide and height as in the example, which looks like ~3 text lines.
