[digiKam-users] image View>Presentation from list and NonTimed Loading

[Vladimír Macek]

I'm using DK old (but otherwise perfect, thank you very much for this
sw) 5.5.0 and to move around in the presentation according to the
speaker's needs: in the first slide I click the mouse to stop the timed
projection and then: left mouse = next, right mouse = previous, set
delays do not apply. For my purposes, this is sufficient. For other
requirements it would be better to use one of the dedicated
presentation sw.

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?
