Description James Hogan 2008-10-03 23:25:05 UTC

Version:           2.0 beta-1 (using KDE 4.1.1)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

After opening a simple presentation in kpresenter 2.0 beta-1, I opened kdbus, and could only find generic koffice interfaces exposed by kpresenter.

In kpresenter 1.$whatever I was able to do the following using DCOP:
* start / stop presentation
* get number of slides, current slide, number of steps, current step
* next/previous step, go to specific slide
* save a preview of a page in a certain size and format to an image file

it would also be great to have signals for when the slide/step changes (e.g. automatically) or is started/stopped by the user.

The reason I would like this functionality is to allow for integration of kpresenter 2 into the church worship/presentation program I'm developing which can be found at http://kworship.org

I'm going to look into implementing this myself and see if I get anywhere :-P

Patch against 2.0.0 release

Here's the patch.
There are no changes from the latest one posted on mailing list (ages ago), except it's based on 2.0.0 and fixes a couple of compile errors which have cropped up since (I'm guessing due to qt3 style stuff being deprecated).

It would be nice if you could provide a patch against trunk. That will make it easier for me to integrate into trunk.
