This is a support utility which is used to facilitate editing of PowerPoint shapes names. The xmlslide script takes advantage of the fact that shape names have been edited with editshapename to conform with XPath search expressions. The Utility iterates interactively through all shapes and gives the user the option of editing the name, while the relevant shape is being graphically selected.
The Windows Script Host environment provides support for describing scripts, passing parameters, including external source files and loading type libraries. Here is the output which the framework shows to guide proper usage of the program:
editshapename - Displays and renames shapes of PowerPoint template
Usage: editshapename.wsf /input:value [/output:value] [/browse]
Options:
input : i - Reference of PowerPoint source template
output : o - Reference of PowerPoint target template
browse : b - Browse the shape names without editing
Example:
cscript editshapename.wsf /input:template.pot /o:booklet.pot
The utilities of the Virtuosi Digital Video Processing Environment all share a common set of functionality provided by source code templates and a modular support library. This basic functionality is generated by a Windows Script Host application wizard which provides handlers for optional and mandatory command line arguments. The framework supports short mnemonic aliases for named arguments. Programs generate standard errorlevel responses to problems during validation of arguments, file paths, file structure or ActiveX component loading.
Here are the specific capabilities of the editshapename utility:
