Description joergwartenberg 2004-12-15 22:55:11 UTC
Hello Writer-Team,

I often create Writer files which consists of multiple images. These images are
diagrams created by third party tools. I have up to 100 very similar images, of
same format and size.
Currently I have to insert these files once by once, using Insert-Graphics-From
file. The file appears each time in the middle of the page, even if there is
already an other image placed. Then I have to move them manualy to a free place
on the page.

I would sugest the following enhancement:
Allow it to select multiple files in the Insert-Graphics file dialog. If the
user selet only one file, all should work as it does now.
If the user select more than one file, OOo shoud show a second dialog which
provides some choices for an auto-alignment of the images. This dialog could
look similar to the Insert slide dialog of impress. The user should have the
choice between alignment templates like:
-One Image in original image size per page
-One full-screen image per page
-All images (scaled down)in a grid on the current page
-Two images scaled to page height on each page (beside each other)
-Two images scaled to page width on each page (on top of each other)
-Grid of 4 images per page
...

Such a feature would shorten my workflow significant.

Hope this helps to improve OOo
Regards Jörg Wartenberg
