> I have a new idea for automation, inspired by a recent comment by Terry. Rev 3380 of the trunk implements the new make-slide-show command. It processes all slide nodes (direct children of p, which must be an @slideshow node). It creates a slide (.png file) for each slide node. By default, if a slide has any callouts or markers, the command will open Inkscape for editing. This command is great for creating batches of slides. You can touch up individual slides with the take-screen-shot command, which again will open Inkscape if there are any callouts or markups. Both these commands simply call ScreenShotController.run(). Scripts can easily call this run() method for even greater control. Just a few options (to run) and Leo settings suffice to give pretty complete control over the entire process. The options and filename methods take great care to compute the best possible filenames, making them relative to the correct places where possible. Output files now have (sanitized) names of the form gnx-<p.h>.png, where p is the slide node corresponding to the file. The addition of the headline makes clear which files correspond to which nodes. It's an important improvement. I'm done for this evening. Tomorrow I'll rewrite the apropos-screen-shots and the plugin's module-level docstring (shown in the plugins menu). I don't expect much more programming will be needed. I'll turn my attention to the look of template files, and to the design of the actual slide shows.
