Hide empty placeholders (P)

This feature allows us to hide placeholders in PowerPoint that are empty. It is possible to specify which types of placeholders that should be hidden and on which layouts it should happen.

CMD

<Cmd case="BaseExtensions:hide-empty-placeholders"/>

Parameters

types

Define which placeholder types that should be hidden if they are empty. It should be matching the types from the enumeration of this site. It is possible to define multiple types by separating them with a semicolon.

If nothing is defined for this parameter, all types of placeholders will be hidden if they are empty.

layoutNames

Define the name of the custom layout(s) where empty placeholders should be hidden. It is possible to define multiple layout names by separating them with a semicolon.

If nothing is defined for this parameter, the command will go through the entire presentation and hide empty placeholders (of defined types) on all layouts.

Example

The following command will hide all placeholders that are of the body and picture type, but only at slides that are of the "Team 5 persons" layout.

<Cmd case="BaseExtensions:hide-empty-placeholders" types="ppPlaceholderBody;ppPlaceholderPicture" layoutNames="Team 5 persons"/>
