Hello,
I've been using KPresenter for a while, to teach C++ language to students
(you can see the presentation at http://kafka-fr.net/docs - french only,
sorry). Well, KPresenter seems already quite good to me, now I feel the
need to send you a little wishlist, some features that would be nice to
have in my humble opinion.
Sorry if some are already planned and/or implemented.
- Printing : it would be nice if it was possible to print several slides
on one page ;
- HTML slideshow :
* I had the need to link some files on some slides, for now I do this
by post-processing the HTML with a little Python script (look for
example http://kafkafr.nerim.net/docs/langage_cpp-html/html/slide_14.html
where three links on files were added to the slide) : maybe add the
feature to link external files to slides ?
* (not sure if it's a feature or a bug) : if I save the slideshow config,
and later I reuse that config after having add some pages, then the
newly added pages are not integrated into the slideshow - or they are,
but the index is a mess.
- Drawing :
* a tool to draw an arbitrary polyline (open or closed) would be nice ;
* even if I set the horiz and vertical rasters to, say, 5, I can't get
a rectangle smaller than 20x20 ;
* when drawing a vertical or horizontal line, the line is drawn centered
in the enclosing rectangle - which has a width at least 20, which makes
it difficult to precisely adjust the line's position : maybe it would be
more convenient to remove that enclosing rectangle, and use anchors
(or control points) like in XFig ?
- Objects' settings : consider for example a text box, which you set up to
use a precise font, color, background... The only way to duplicate these
settings is to copy-paste that text box. IMHO a little tool to duplicate
a set of settings would be handy (there's something like this in MS Word
- sorry).
- Texts : it doesn't seem possible (yet ?) to have a numbered list... and
for very simple tables, the embeding of KSpread is a pain, it would be
very handy to have a KWord-like table tool.
Well, that's all (for now ;-). Anyway, I repeat it, I found you did a
great job !
Best regards,
