However ... it would be nice if the Navigation Bar did include a Last Slide button to compliment its Home Slide (first slide) button to better navigate in some particular slideshow needs.

KEN'S COMMENT

it would also be useful to be able to go to specific slides via a roll down arrow window

Ken,

Your idea of the Go To Slide button would work wonderful in the Navigation Bar.

Since the Go To Slide button would contain all the slides names in a numbered listbox for users to easily access ... this would actually omit the need of a new Last Slide button and the need of the current Home Slide button. One button to perform all the necessary slide selection/destinations.

Now that PTE and Users can index and select the slides by using the Name of Slide Object feature currently available ... the Go To Slide navigation button function already has the groundwork setup. (PTE no longer uses just the slide # to index as in past versions.)

The Go To Slide button would greatly expand and enhance the current navigation limitations. Users and their clients now would have full access to a selected slide name and not just a slide # they may know nothing about . The scrollable numbered listbox would quickly show the slide position and the total slide count. Now thats really alot of control and information for users all in one sweep.

what would really be neat would be when you hit preview

you would get a split screen

one side showing the whiteboard - and advancing as the slides changed

the other showing the show

Ken,

I would be happy with getting started with just the above ... but a selectable whiteboard preview/screen would give the User the full monte.

I believe Igor should give some serious thought and consideration to make this a possibility in the near future. This one particular Navigation function with preview alone would be a great asset to the overall scope of use and power in PTE and its inovative development.

IMHO

i think the whole idea would help people putting their show together -- I have always enabled the nav bar functions since 3.4 to facilitate things -

Lets hope Igor will consider this one
