[digiKam-users] Can one do a 'manual' slide show?

[Chris Green]

Is there any way to control the slide-show mode manually?  I.e. can
one move from image to image using mouse or keyboard or something?

I had never tried the slideshow until now. I can see that there are previous,
pause and next buttons at the left bottom corner of the screen. Also, if you
click anywhere of the screen, it goes to the next picture. Is that what you
mean?

By the way, I noticed that when you click on "Slideshow", nothing happens.
You have to unfold the dropdown menu, and select whether you want All,
Selection, or "with all subalbums". Is this normal? I would assume that just
clicking on "Slideshow" would be equivalent to "all".

Well, sort of, except that once started it seems not possible to stop.
Ah, yes it is, I hate icons! :-)  For me words would be so much more
intelligible than those icons.

That's the way it works, you have to select one of the three before it
starts.

Are you on MacOS? I think I've heard of the problem. it is a Qt bug. Under
MacOS, an internal fullscreen widget from Qt is opened, from which we do not
receive any key events. Otherwise space pause or ESC quit.
