Description Cor Nouws 2015-04-03 07:54:57 UTC
Start Draw or Impress
Insert any shape
Right click ...
  > no possibility to give name or description

Are needed for Navigator, usability and accessibility.

(Prolly removed because the dialog for images allows to do that.
But IMNSHO it's much more handy to have those in the context menu fos Images too.)

Hey Cor,

Yes it was removed as part of the context menu clean up. The option to add/edit a name or description was added to the menu to the Format menu in Impress and is available in the Modify menu in Draw.

The ability to modify a shape's name in Navigator should be integrated into the context menu, as mentioned in bug 90244.

Using Impress 5.0.2.2 and I don't see any way to name or rename a shape. I added rename to the format menu, but it's grayed out when I select an inserted bitmap. Very inconvenient when you're doing animations and you can't give objects, some of which are hidden behind other objects, a name to help identify them.

@Paul: please don't change version fields, unless you first learn how that should be done. Thanks!
