Re: Editing text in a callout

Tim, that's great. None of them is a showstopper, it's just a bit annoying, so it's something I can live with for a while.

However, you should look into the "Upload file" feature of the Forum, something is not right there.

Re: Editing text in a callout

I finished the upload on both occasions. It gives me percentages regarding the upload of the file. After reaching 100% I am back on the list but I cannot see the message I've associated with the upload. Something does not work as it should is my guess. Anyway, Ive uploaded it to DropBox, the link is...

Re: Feature request: got to certain slide in preview

Marting, that's fine when working on a file, but the keyboard shortcuts can also be very handy when actually presenting stuff, or exercising a presentation.

Re: Editing text in a callout

Okay, I've uploaded a file TypingText.mp4 demonstrating the three bugs I can reproduce at will. It might also provide a useful hint regarding a bug I've run into several times but which I cannot reproduce at will.

Can't see the uploaded file anywhere, I hope you can

Tim?! (The "Minimum number of characters is 5" thing can be annoying!)

Re: Changing the order of slides is awkward

Thanks Martin, but in my case it is indeed that simple.

Andreas: maybe Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End could move a selected slide to the top or bottom respectively?

Missing: Cut, Copy and Paste in the "Slides" tab

I am missing particularly Copy and Paste when the focus is on a particular slide in the "Slides" tab. As a workaround I have duplicated the slide I want to copy, and then moved it to the desired spot with Ctrl+Up|Down, but since I have quite a number of slides this is a slow process. It wo...

Re: Changing the order of slides is awkward

I probably made mistake by clicking somewhere else by accident. I thought I tried exactly that and it did not work, but now it does, so I must have done something stupid.

Thanks!

Re: Editing text in a callout

Tim, I am just asking whether you've logged any bugs regarding editing text in a callout in your event tracker ;)

If that number is zero or one then I will make an effort, because it appears I found two bugs. If you have logged two or more bugs I would wait for them to get fixed and then check.

Changing the order of slides is awkward

I keep forgetting how to do this and wonder why the obvious way does not work: have the commands "Move up" and "Move down" in the context menu of slides when the "Slides" tab is active. If those those two command had keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+{Up} and Ctrl+{Down} ass...

Editing text in a callout

Editing text in a callout is suffering from a couple of bugs.

I expect them to be known, is this correct?

Re: Text input

Tim, if I understand you correctly then it will become possible to embedd a video?

That would be good enough for me, certainly, because I almost always start with a couple of commands before a GUI shows up, and from then on Xplain does a superb job!

Feature request: got to certain slide in preview

In the Preview of a slideshow I am missing two things:

1. A command (keyboard preferred) to jump to the first or last slide. This is a must I think.

2. A control that allows me to jump to a particular slide. Nice to have.

Re: Text input

I can see that the TypeWrite animation can be very useful. In my case it does not help too much: I can achieve what I am looking for but it's cumbersome and time consuming. I have attached a video that shows what I am typing into the IDE of my language of choice (APL) - that's what I need to emulate...
