Phase 1 of 5 - Plugin / Add-in for Powerpoint (Skills Required C+ but maybe Javascript & Visual Basic can do it)

This job is for a PowerPoint Plugin / Add-in that most importantly would be compatible with all PowerPoint versions from 2010 to present.  It would need to install easily with a normal looking standard installer that works with Windows XP, 7, 8, 9, 10.  And would need a real digital signature/certificate that makes the plugin ready to install on any of my (5) computers.


I design PowerPoint templates for a living and do testing on all versions of Windows and all versions of PowerPoint, so I need compatibility with all my systems. My goal is to be able to organize better and quicker with a plugin that basically does a lot of standard functions of windows explorer, but with customizations that makes it easier for me to be more productive.

NOTE:  I will ask you a test question to show you are a good C+ programmer before I hire.

The goal on phase one is:
a) tab added to ribbon named "tools" and (4) buttons added to the open tab: 
1) save tool      2) get tool      3) back-up tools      4) load tools
b)  1st button function: window opens and prompts to choose "category" from the list and has a form input that allows a "new category" to be added. Once "Category" is chosen or created, it then prompts to name the file being saved and places it in a directory that can be called to be put on the canvas (from the 2nd Load Slide/Media menu button).

Lastly, it prompts for location of photo or video that will represent the file in the "Gallery" window that shows when the 2nd Load Slide/Media menu button is clicked.
C) Section(s) above with listed functionality and working properly.

Required for payment on phase one:
1)    show that the goal in phase one has been completed by providing a plugin to me with the limited functionality listed above. (Example: Visual components should be in place, menus/windows should open and be like the photo provided, and have name prompts with proper forms.)
2)    UI should be consistent with photos provided of “Ribbon” and “Save Tool Window”.
3)    Development should be to a point where it is obvious that the 2nd PHASE is ready to start.

Deadline: 1 week.
