Hi Daniel, thanks for keeping working on xournal. I use it still on a daily base, even if development and progress seems to be tricky. I am using a modified version, which includes a sidebar with slides, which I patched a bit by myself, to show the next (upcoming) slight (i also increased the size of the thumbnails). This helps me to have a preview during presentations and enables me to flinch (without notice of the audience) through the list of slides and select the correct one. I use xournal for my lecture slides, which I annotate as I am presenting them. For the presentation, I rely on xinput and xrandr. Some advance config allows me to show the slides without sidebars, toolbars, etc. on the video projector. This works surprisingly well and stable.
However, I lost track of the sidebar-fork. I remember it was something done by some students (yours?). I would be very happy if that sidebar feature could find its way into your repro feature branch and might be merged in a final version by time. Currently, I believe this feature is rotting somewhere in an probably outdated repro by now, and it will be harder to merge it from month to month. Would be glad if you could give me some ideas or a hint.
