Inkview

Inkview is a slideshow program which uses SVG files. The development version currently resides in the inkview_slideshow branch in CVS. To check it out run the following cvs command: 'cvs -z3 checkout -r inkview_slideshow -d inkview_slideshow inkscape'. To run it do: 'inkview somewhere/*.svg' and the slideshow will consist of the list of files supplied on the command line in the given order. Supplying a .jar or .sxw file on the command line should retrieve the SVGs for viewing (inkview needs to be compiled with the --with-inkjar flag in the configure script for this).

Keyboard shortcuts (as of release 0.37)

• Left : show previous slide
• Right: show next slide
• Up: go to first slide
• Down: go to last slide
• Escape: quit
• F11: go to fullscreen mode/revert back to window mode
• Return: pop up window with slide buttons (first, prev, next, last)

Todo list

• add a default SVG for when a document does not load.

What about using the inkscape logo without text, or with the words Inkview -- rejon

There is a nice crystal SVG Inkscape logo at http://www.openclipart.org/incoming//etiquette-icons-0.3.tar.gz

Roadmap

Make Inkview a full-featured svg browser:

• Incorporate Inkscape's "open file" dialogue, for browsing.
• Allow kill process, in case of hang. (common with lots of previews of large files)
