That's amazing! Great work! Animation is on the list of Inkscape to- do's, and you seem to have already come up with the start of a solution! It's not full animation yet, but frame-by-frame transitions in anything other than a .gif (or flash format) is thoroughly missing, so this is very welcome.
Thanks! If I am not mistaken, the approach I have taken (using JavaScript for animation) is somewhat different from what the Inkscape developers are trying to do. As I understand it, their goal is to implement the animation part of the SVG specification. That seems much harder to do, but I am excited to see the results.
Instead of navigating with the directional keys, is it possible to make the flipping through the frames by clicking? (though it wouldn't allow moving back). Clicking is more convenient when including the picture within a webpage though. With a "click to start", you not only have the means to a presentation slide, but the start of the means to basic animation.
I just uploaded a new version of the presentation. You should now be able to flip through the slides by clicking.
