Hi Carl,<div><br></div><div>With regard to the slides being of improper size and position, I have fixed the problem. I'll be very happy if you can use the updated packages and test it out :)</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,<br clear="all">

</div>There is an immediate use case for showing presentations on the<br>
tablet. In fact, that's one of the primary ways I expect to be using<br>
it.<br>
<br>
I've just experimented with a presentation that I will be giving later<br>
this week to a real live customer. Okular works; Calligra Active<br>
doesn't.<br></blockquote></div><div><br>I guess you tried it with a PDF, that won't work. (read below)<br> <br></div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);padding-left:1ex">

Okular may not have what people here consider a touchscreen interface,<br>
but it works fine for me. There are no reasonable obstacles to its<br>
use. I would prefer not to have to be so precise in selecting menu<br>
choices, but in several such operations, there was only one error.<br>
<br>
Trying to get Calligra Active to work with stop-gap solutions is a bad idea.<br>
<br>
Secondary consideration...<br>
I'm not working in the technology; I'm a reasonably well informed<br>
user. I support Calligra's push to parity with other FOSS office<br>
suites, and am willing to sacrifice somewhat to in that support.<br>
However, with the ExoPC/openSUSE/PlasmaActive/Contour set-up, Calligra<br>
Active, I'm mystified.<br></blockquote></div><div><br>That is so because it is designed by someone (me :P) who frankly didn't have good experience with touch UIs. Still making improvements, but yes I agree the pace isn't good.<br>

<br>
I select Calligra Active and am presented with a screen showing a list<br>
with purty icons...Document, Spreadsheet, Presentation, Open Document.<br>
Pressing Open Document opens a file open dialog. Pressing any other<br>
button does nothing.<br>
<br>
PDFs won't open in Calligra Active. ODPs open with the slides taking<br>
about 50% of the available screen area in the upper left corner. There<br>
is no apparent way to resize them. The slides can be moved to the<br>
center of the screen, and retreat to upper left when released.<br></blockquote></div><div><br>Thanks for bringing this to notice, I was so engaged in other stuff[1] that I didn't pay attention to the slides appearing smaller. Somehow I think I've used a absolute zoom factor which worked on my laptop screen but not everywhere. I'm trying to fix this one.<br>
PDFs are not yet supported in CA, sorry.<br><br>[1] Desktop search integration, so now the other three buttons work :)<br> <br></div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);padding-left:1ex">

As it currently is, Calligra Active is not ready for the tablet.<br>
Favoring it over Okular shows Plasma Active in a bad light.<br>
