s0kz0551 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Posted January 29, 2013 * *Optional* feature to be specified on/off during slideshow .exe creation.* Auto-saves the current slide position whenever you exit the .exe viewer.* When you re-open the .exe slideshow viewer, it opens directly into the last slide known slide position (eg "33/105").Reason:========* For much longer presenation files - eg up to 100 slides.* It's awkward / unprofessional to be there scrolling back trying to remember the place where we had finished previously in the last session.* Looks cool.Technical suggestion:=====================The setting might be saved either to1) A .INF file (created into the same folder as the .exe viewer) **.2) Or if not INF file, then hard-code each presentation to random GUID key. Then save the slide position to the Windows registry. The slide number position can be as small as 4 bytes for a uint32_t value. Using the Registry way might pollute the registry 1 GUID key per slideshow ***. If using Registry sounds bad, so use .INF file then.** This feature is optional so presentations compiled without the feature enabled won't ever need to write the INF file.*** Windows now has better management and cleaning of the registry user data with Windows 8 - "refresh" / "restore" / "reset".
