Wouldn't you be better off using a dedicated tool for presentations? For 
digikam, slideshows and presentation are not a core activity, but would demand 
a serious extra time investment from the developers to get to what you want.

Perhaps LibreOffice or Latex/Beamer (to stay with FOSS tools) are already 
capable to provide what you want?
