Background
This document summarises feedback from the initial trials. It is a synthesis of themes that have come through multiple issue reports and need further planing/tasks to be addressed.
| Issue | Import of slides containing images and diagrams |
|---|---|
| Description | Slides containing multiple images and/or diagrams are not imported correctly. This is due to limitations in the import engine PPTX2HTML which currently only supports line diagrams and a few image types (jpg, png, gif) When a slide imports, input boxes are created for the missing diagram and images but they are empty. This creates additional difficulties for the user as they have to remove these empty input boxes before adding the missing content. |

| Action | Suggestion (Abi)..... add prepossessing to the import service so that diagrams and unsupported images are converted into images. Consider whether this should be in SVG format to allow images and diagrams to be editable. |
| Issue | Themes and backgrounds are not imported |
|---|---|
| Description | Themes and backgrounds are removed on import. PPTX2HTML states they have basic support but we don't seem to be using it. We need to build functions to allow users to import, edit and create themes. |

| Action | FYI - new version of CKEditor in development and may address some of these issues. (1) SWAQ-244 - Getting issue details... STATUS on hold as can not improve this through CKeditor. Although we should make sure themes allow users to define default style of bullets and numbered lists. (2) headings - this will be part of themes (3) SWIK-924 - Getting issue details... STATUS to extend symbol list (4) Ckeditor 4.6 seems to allow for proper image resize. Perhaps I can also try experimenting with using the CKeditor toolbar (standard/default, see, as opposed to the current use of the inline editor (which cases some problems). (5) low priority. |
