Good job. If this could be a Prezi clone some day, that would be very useful.

Thanks Klass, now I can start studying 🙂
I can’t believe I miss that file in the package file list.
Seems I need more hollidays

If you start zippl this way:
zippl /usr/share/zippl/zippl.xml
it comes up with a demo presentation.

/usr/share/zippl/zippl.xml from the package should also give you an idea how to write your own presentation. Documentation is still missing 🙁

Hi Klass, too nice to see your post, just in time when I ask myself about Prezi.
I’ve install zippl under factory from your repo. but when I launch it, i want to open a file, not create a new one ?
Did I miss something ? You know how long is the README 🙂

I haven’t investigated dual screen setup yet with Zippl. Example code would be appreciated.

I have a question, since often I need to look at a different screen than the presentation, how does Zippl handle dual screen setups?

Ideally you would see the whole canvas on the laptop screen, and it can have a “view finder” that selects what’s shown on the external screen. I’m a total newb about QGraphicsView, but is that possible with it?

the zooming does not work very nicely yet, thats true. I should have disabled it for that release and rework.

Great, thanks Klaas. Another feature that would be great, would be the ability to get back to focus after one have zoomed out (using the – key). If you press + atm it zooms in back to the canvas, of course, but zippl does not focus a slide, so you have to move around to find one.

I think about an option like pressing f which would focus the nearest object found.
