Progress Line

(impress-progress-line)

Progress Line for LibreOffice/OpenOffice Impress presentations. It builds and adds very simple outline with progress indicator into existing slides, from a custom TOC file.

It uses a separate TOC from specific <file.ext>.index file to give authors full control on what should be shown and ability to shorten long titles.

Other customization possible: shape/color/font/format/margin are declared at the top of the script, any user with basic knowledge of Basic can tweak it.
