<AssetFilter>
  <Include Path="ImageGallery/" />
</AssetFilter>

DesignConversionMappings

Defines which layout names should be searched for in external PowerPoint files to be converted in order to convert this SlideLayout. This is usually the same designation as the Name of the SlideLayout.

<DesignConversionMappings>
  <Name>Image with Quote</Name>
</DesignConversionMappings>

Design Conversion

Design conversion automatically adapts slides from any PowerPoint presentation to a specified corporate design. The layout names in the external files are compared with the DesignConversionMappings defined in the master template. If a matching mapping is found, the layout of the slide is transferred accordingly. A status dialog is displayed during the conversion. Once the conversion is complete, the dialog informs the user that the conversion was successful. If the conversion is successful, the converted presentation opens automatically.
