[openlp-dev] Default value for behaviour of next/previous slide action

[Chris Hill]

Hi,

 

It was my impression that a lot of those PowerPoint bugs which I also recall were fixed in 2.1.5 / 2.2 and are now less of an issue.

 

I’ve just tried with trunk & PowerPoint 2016 and apart from the ongoing issue with ending the presentation, going to the end did not cause the problems described.

 

(I do recall them before, but still a problem?)

 

Kind regards,

For me, if I disable that option and accidentally navigate past the end of the slideshow (to the 'end of presentation, click to exit' page), it breaks PowerPoint and/or LibreOffice (can't remember which atm) and requires me to unload and reload the presentation to be able to continue navigating within it.

This setting prevents that from happening & I suspect that was the reason for the option.

Hi,

 

Since the topic of default settings has come up, can I raise the topic of the ‘Behaviour of next/previous on the last/first slide’ option under Settings/Advanced.

 

A number of OpenLP enthusiasts use wireless USB ‘presenters’ with back/forward buttons to control PowerPoint and OpenLP slides during services. At present it is necessary to change this option to ‘Move to next/previous service item’ from ‘Remain on Slide’ to allow for ‘hands-free’ use. I’m not sure whether ‘Remain on Slide’ is emulating another worship package – however a few have commented that they always change this option before starting use.

 

Are there any thoughts about whether this behaviour could be changed? It also makes it easier to use OpenLP with Page Up / Page Down or Up / Down keys without using Left / Right. It seems more intuitive to me.

 

Could someone explain the original decision - or should the default be changed?

 

Thanks a lot,
