Hi,
I am interested in having an option to start inkview fullscreen + have left/right mouse buttons change slides. I could try to code that. I can see inkscape got --slideshow option - are there plans to integrate inkview into inkscape? I hope not.
Inkview was deliberatedly seperated out avoid overcrowding inkscape. It was a smart way to avoid feature creap and it will be interesting to see how things progress as more animation functionality is added, and inkview could continue to provide a useful outlet.
Command line options are good to have too but having them as the only option isn't good for most users. I do think Inkview would benefit from having a menubar and toolbar with basic functionality for next and previous pages.
I've thought that a context menu might be of value, so you could right click and do "Edit in Inkscape", etc.
The trick though is that since inkview is strictly a wrapper around SPView, it lacks access to most of the GUI widget stuff, so adding menubars and toolbars would be a sizeable undertaking. Not impossible (maybe even fun!)
