Description Paulo Eduardo Neves 2004-12-21 19:42:58 UTC

Version:           0.7 (using KDE 3.3.1, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.9-gentoo-r8

In a machine with  a dual head configurantion (two monitors, aka, xinerama) the slide show displays each image in both displays. The correct behaviour would be use just one of the monitors, so we don't have a gap in the middle of the image.

There's probably more than one function to get the screen size, On returns the size of the current display, the other returns the size of both displays as if they were just one. The first one should be used.

Hi,

this is surely an improvement, but it seems not to be fixed completely: on my machine, the slideshow is shown on the *first* monitor (not the monitor Digikam is in). 

I have two TFTs connected to a NVidia GF4, using the binary NVIDIA drivers and digikam 0.7.2 and kipi-plugins 0.1.0b2:

 > rpm -qa|grep digi
 digikamimageplugins-0.7.2-3
 digikam-0.7.2-7
 > rpm -qa|grep kipi
 libkipi-0.1.1-3
 kipi-plugins-0.1.0beta2-3

Please have another look at this =;)

Thanks!

Jens

Comment 4 Christian Weiske 2006-10-28 18:44:25 UTC

I do have the same problem. The slideshow appears on the first screen, not the one digikam is in.

Comment 5 Vincent Petry 2008-01-03 16:59:55 UTC

Same problem here with:
digikam-0.9.2-70.2
kipi-plugins-0.1.4-38
libkipi-0.1.5-84

How about adding an option which enables to select the monitor where to show the slideshow, with an auto option which defaults to the host app's monitor?

Thanks.

according to comment #4 and comment #5

Comment 7 Dennis Jansen 2008-10-19 21:22:42 UTC

I think this is clearly closed and you should maybe open a new one as wishlist to have better multi-monitor support.

Comment 10 Andi Clemens 2009-10-01 13:26:57 UTC

Hmm I guess so...

Comment 11 Alessandro Russo 2010-02-07 11:35:45 UTC

This bug isn't obsolete. I'm using gwenview 2.3.4 and the advanced slideshow use only the first monitor not the monitor where is displayed gwenview.
Usually you want to show the slideshow on the secondary monitor not the main one so for me this bug is important.

Comment 12 caulier.gilles 2011-12-22 11:57:48 UTC

Paulo,

It stil valid using kipi-plugins 2.4 ?
