"Permit the control of show" option

[Igor]

Does anybody tried how new "Permit the control of show" option works for synchronized slide-shows? It should allows to rewind or pause playback as in unsynchronized presentations.

Igor:

I have tried it to a limited extent. Seems to work fine for what I was hoping it would do !!

I played around with it and it worked well too.

I have not sent any slideshow out with this option

yet for an extended trial. But I did not see

any problems in my testing.

It works well for me, too, Igor! Thanks!

I'm glad that this feature can be useful

I have tried this excellent feature and the 'pause' facility is very useful although the next and previous slide options are rather less so. What would be a worthwhile extension is the jump to a named slide which could be used as a 'Next Section'/'Previous section'.

When sound is playing it would be good if the sound could fade out and back in to make the jump much smoother.

If there is time to sample the input a couple of times during a long fade it would help make it more responsive.

Keyboard shortcuts would enable a show to be driven transparently. Possible typing a number will jump to that slide as in PowerPoint

Thanks again Igor

I would like to second what Mike said. The current feature is very good, and is certainly welcome, but I would love to extend this feature to allow a named slide (which must optionally be able to NOT be shown at all in the normal course of the slide show) to be shown when the mouse is clicked. I should be able, on that slide, to resume, to exit, or to go to slide "n" (many different slides, depending on which button I click). While that slide is shown, the music should pause.

This would allow me to have "sections" of a slide show and branch at any point to a different section, without needing the current multiple shows.

I do not see this as a "high priority" but as a "Very Good Thing".

This is one of the features that I had really wanted, and it works wonderfully. Thanks!!!

[Igor]

Thanks, Harold! I've added your idea to my cogitation-list for the next version.

I've added your idea to my cogitation-list ...

Igor,

You've gone far enough in your English lessons - I had to look that one up in my Oxford dictionary!!

All the best of the Season to you and yours! Thank-you so much for all the hard work you've put on PTE for us this past year!
