Hello list,
Soon I will have to prepare slides for the lectures. My chief's obvious choice was MS PowerPoint, mine was OOo Impress. Since the slides will inlcude many diagrams I think inkscape would be best choice and slides can be enhanced with animations once inkscape has animations implemented.
A couple of issues:
- cd my_svgs; inkview *.svg segfaults, while inkscape -s *.svg works fine
Run this through gdb to sort out why the segfault is happening. Possibly it has something to do with the filenames; internally inkview and inkscape are the same code, so if inkview is failing where inkscape is not, that suggest a superficial issue. Not a surprise; inkview is not as carefully maintained as inkscape is, although it's simple enough that bugs generally tend to be easy to fix.
- Can I run `inkscape -s *' in fullscreen?
Doesn't seem so. Probably would not be hard to port that functionality over into inkscape from inkview if you're interested. Look in inkview.cpp in the sp_svgview_main_key_press() for the code that implements this behavior. I'm not sure where exactly to place it in inkscape itself; my guess would be sp_slideshow_event in slideshow.cpp.
- Would an RFE for inkview from layers (many slides in one file) sound reasonable?
- Would an RFE for exporting layers into files sound reasonable?
Layers are probably not the right metaphor for this, but you're welcome to submit an RFE on this if there isn't already one in there for it.
