Hi, Thanks I compiled the branch including the sidebar thumbnail previews. It works very well. I adjusted the thumbnail size in the source code, to make the Beamer slides easier to read. Luckily there was already a constant defined for scaling :)
Furthermore, I added a little hack to keep the active thumbnail always on top of the sidebar. Thus, I can always see the next two presentation slides. Tested it yesterday and worked out very well. For the projector view, I used the xrandr idea you proposed and it seems to work stable. As an intermediate solution for my feature request "dual view presentation mode" I thought of adding a feature to xournal which reports the absolute position of the drawing canvas (that should be easily obtainable from the gtk api). Those values could be feed to a xrandr call creating always the correct settings independent of window movement or rescaling. I even thought about sending those values out after a request via a socket or even via dbus. However, all these features will work under Linux only. Thus, I am not sure if that could ever be an official solution. Furthermore, the xrandr trick basically rescales a part of screen A to screen B. At the moment my laptop has a higher resolution compared to the projector. Thus, my drawing canvas in full screen is about 900x600 pixels. Rescaling upward to the 1024x786 of the projector does not make a big difference. But it might look much worse if either the projectors resolution is much higher, or if the drawing canvas gets much smaller. > >oh, the best, best solution, would be for you to create xournal based >widget that can be reused in any application. that would be really nice Not sure what you mean by widget. Do you mean a new gtk widget which by some way contains the drawing canvas of a running xournal? How to create the communication? Socket, dbus or does GTK has its own method of program to program communication?
