feature request: Convert grouped elements as images
In my use case, I have many shapes, images and text box that are grouped to form a schema. The pptx2md export each individual element as standalone, losing the schema in the markdown.
The feature request would be to check if a group contains shapes and images. If so, convert them to an image and ignore the content for the textual export.
The current workaround is to group the items. Export them as images. Insert the image in the presentation. Delete the grouped items, keeping only the image. While this work for my use case, if somebody is using the tool in a workflow this may not work for them, since they'll lose ability to edit the groupe elements.
Just to note, I am using this one for a one-of conversion of 2 files. The workaround is enough for me, but at least the request will be documented.
Improved workaround (found with my last 2 groups to convert 🤦🏼 )
- Select the elements.
- Group the elements.
- Copy the group.
- Paste as image.
- Delete the group.
