slideshow

This is an enhanced version of Richard Suchenwirths Canvas presentation graphics slideshow. It displays full screen and is completely mouse controlled. It is also able to switch between several slide shows. A starkit containing this slide show program and 3 different slide shows (RSs original Tcl show (german), a man page show (english) and an introduction to starkits (german)) is available on the sdarchive at [L1 ].

MHo 2006/09/13:

  • Switching to another show does not work on windows if path contains spaces, I think

US Can't help you there, it's windows.

Lars H: The following line looks like a suspect for that issue:

        -command "set present::fsl $showd ; \

-- not an OS issue, just poor quoting. Try changing it to

        -command "[list set present::fsl $showd] ; \
  • Why no keyboard-bindings on windows?

US wm overrideredirect prevents keyboard usage under X, should it be possible on windows?

  • How and where to provide and call external slideshows?

US Should be fairly easy: Look at the code snippet beginning with the last 'foreach'. Just append a directory listing of your external shows directory.
