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. Klaas: I agree. lets do this in gradual steps/separate tickets (e.g. "preproces/handle image format X"). I think this is also very related to work on the file/media service by Roy Meissner. I think SWIK-919 - Getting issue details... STATUS , which Dejan Paunović is working on, is related to diagrams. Luis Daniel Fernandes Rotger did a lot of work on both importing and showing diagrams in SWIK-802 - Getting issue details... STATUS . SVG support is very important, we already did work on this, even in this sprint SWIK-836 - Getting issue details... STATUS SWIK-837 - Getting issue details... STATUS SWIK-755 - Getting issue details... STATUS . Currently the SVG info is imported, although not shown well or editable. Initial discussion of designing and implementing an overall/good solution to handle all SVG asap. The original slidewiki uses an external SVG editor: Import and editing of SVG images and diagrams

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	Klaas: New version 4.6 on http://ckeditor.com/ seems to allow for proper image resize. We now use version 4.5.11 SWIK-921 - Getting issue details... STATUS Need to decide on whether to continue to support absolute layouts.

Issue	CSS and styling of slide content
Description	The styling applied by the default could not be altered sufficiently or was not appropriate. In particular: heading are styled as capital letters bullets and lists are centre justified sub-scripts and super-scripts are too large

Action	Adjust default CSS. Allow users to select different styles through themes.

Issue	Features missing or difficult within CKeditor
Description	Users reported that they were: unable to alter the format of bullets and numbered lists. It is possible to change the shape and numbering of lists but it is difficult to find this function as it is only available through right-clicking in the list. It is not possible to change the colour of numbers or bullets unable change the style of headings symbols missing, in particular the Greek alphabet limited and confusing UI for altering image properties colour and font size boxes do not reflect the current settings

Action	FYI - new version of CKEditor in development and may address some of these issues. Klaas: Indeed the new version 4.6 on http://ckeditor.com/ looks good. We now use version 4.5.11. 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). (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.

Issue	Slide renaming issues
Description	Users reported difficulties with renaming the slide in the decktree. User is required to press enter to activate the slide title change which caused issues. In addition intermittent bugs were observed: p tags being inserted around slide title when it is duplicated ( SWIK-935 - Getting issue details... STATUS ) symbols and accents in slide titles being presented as Unicode or errors ( SWIK-633 - Getting issue details... STATUS )
