We've been using a new evince backend to show our slides during a couple of talks we've given on the Fedora Rendering Project [1]. The slides themselves are just SVG files and they way the backend works is that it reads an index file and uses that to figure which SVG files to load in which order. The index file is just a simple XMl file:
This is really neat! I know people have used pdf for presentations in
the past too, but I think having a simple svg based one with a script to
create it would be cool.
That being said, we clearly need some improvements for presentations in full-screen mode. The 10 pixel page border around the outside is pretty distracting. We either want a 1-pixel black border, or perhaps no border at all.
Yep, we used a different fullscreen mode with no border at all. At the edge of the screen the 1 pixel black border doesn't do much except reduce the screen real estate.
I don't know if this is something you want to add to evince, but here's the patch, feel free to use it!
I'd be interested in adding it as as a conditional compile based on the presence of Cairo. I'm a little bit concerned as we have a couple unmaintained backends already, but I think this one is cool enough to add that it's worth doing. It's not unreasonable for us to support svg documents though.
We also probably need a file extension for the index file. How about "Evince Presentation System" or "Presentation Data Format". Or maybe I'll let someone else come up with a name... (-:
What about Document-format On Crack?
