SUMMARY When you start a slideshow, there is an option to display the progress like "(1/67)" at the bottom left corner of the screen. I have that option selected. I noticed several versions back that it was no longer displaying, but I assumed the feature had been removed. I discovered today, though, that it does still display the progress, but only if you have an animated gif in the fileset. Once you display a single animated gif, the progress continues to be displayed through the rest of the slideshow. It does not appear to work with non-animated gifs. The issue has been reproduced on both Linux and Windows. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start a slideshow 2. Observe that there is no progress display shown 3. click through your slideshow unil an animated gif 4. Notice the progress is displayed 5. Click onto another file 6. Notice the progress is still shown. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 11 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: PopOS 22.4 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I can't reproduce that here, the progress is always displayed when it has been activated. If you can't see the progress, then the tool buttons for pause, continue and start shouldn't be visible either, as it's a widget. Are the buttons visible? By the way, you can open the settings with F2, is the checkbox for displaying progress activated? No problems under Windows either, progress is visible. Maik

I have reproduced the issue on three operating systems (Ubuntu and PopOS, plus Windows 11). The attached screenshots are from Windows.
This is normal behavior, you start the slideshow using the "play" button in the thumbnail or preview. Here the slideshow is in "still mode". This mode is intended as a preview function, only when you press the play tool button will the progress be displayed again. A gif or video also starts the play mode. Maik
Hmm, ok. Just FYI, then, I typically do not "play" the slideshow. I click through it manually. The progress is never displayed in that circumstance unless an animated gif turns it on. That doesn't seem like it should be the expected behavior.
Yes, if you press the "play" button in the slideshow it starts and the progress appears. Let's see, we can make it blink. This mode was intended as a full-screen view so that you can scroll through the images by clicking with the mouse. Maik
