Agus, you are right, currently I have developed a custom tool useful for presentations, which takes the opened page with a DEFINED ORDER of sub-pages in form of sub-links: +introduction +methods +... consequently after running the custom tool a small window appears and you can change pages with page up, page down and escape the window by pressing the escape key or button. It would be nice to integrate it more neatly to the full screen feature of ZIM, which I have used for some presentations before :-D Hope it helps and possibly it may be useful also for somebody else...
You need to copy attached files to ~/.config/zim/customtools/ and restart the ZIM, than the custom tool should appear under menu -- tools -- presenter All the best, Jakub On 29 January 2015 at 21:32, Agustin Lobo <[email protected]> wrote: > Jakub, > > At some point you said > "...especially in presentations, which I love to make in ZIM " > > Could you explain how you actually make presentations with zim or > point to the appropriate doc? > > Thanks! > Agus > > -- > Agustin Lobo > [email protected] >
