3 more suggestions #45

I repeat myself: I love Instrumenta & am definately a power user.

I know I keep spamming suggestions, I hope it does not get too annoying :)

  1. Distributing elements horizontally or vertically works well. When selecting only 1 shape and using the normal powerpoint function to distribute horizontally or vertially, it will align the shape in the middle of the slide. With the function on Instrumenta this does not work currently

  2. Often people update a slide but keep the original. When finalizing it, it would be great to have a button which hides the slide and then sends it to the back: it is out of sight in presentation mode, does not irritate when working on the doc, but is still there :)

  3. Under the special characters button you currently have Euro, Copysign, etc. It would be great to have a protected space there as well (Character Code 00A0 from Hex)

Hi @ace9790 ! No worries, not annoying at all. Happy to improve the tool.

1) this should also be the default behaviour in Instrumenta. Not sure why it does not work for you. Windows or Mac?

2 and 3 I can look into

I am on a windows (work computer, many functionalities are limited due to security concerns).

By the way, this is the error I get

Sorry I thought you meant clicking align center (6 buttons to the left). That does work in that way.

Can also build this into the distribute horizontally/vertically functions of Instrumenta

Latest beta now includes these three features! You can find 2 in the cleanup menu. It processes all selected slides.

one minor improvement for the implemented "move to end and hide slide" feature: ideally at the end of the script, it would select the next slide (and thus shift the screen back).

Currently, the screen ends up at the end of the presentation, and then you need to scroll back to the position you started in. Do you know what i mean?
