Slides

The Slides window shows series of pictures that an agent made for you: a deck, a set of visuals, a gallery. Each slide keeps every version the agent pushed. You choose the version to keep, and you print the series as a PDF.

Open it from the rail: right-click an empty part, Add a widget, then Slides. See the menu bar.

Where series come from​

An agent pushes a series through the app's door series.push. Each push adds a new version to every slide whose picture changed. The pictures are copied into ~/.mnemosyne/series. An agent reads a series back with series.get.

No agent door deletes a version or picks the kept one. Those stay your gestures, in this window. The window follows each push as it arrives.

With no series yet, the window reads:

No series yet. An agent shows one with os_run series.push.

Reading a series​

  • On the left: the series, with their number of slides and versions, who asked for them, and when.
  • In the centre: one slide, its position such as 03 / 12, and its title. Under the picture, one pill per version. The kept version is green.
  • At the bottom: the strip of slides, each with the version it prints.

← and → move from slide to slide. ↑ and ↓ move through the versions of the slide on screen.

Each version shows its size, its date and the agent's note when there is one.

Keeping a version​

Keep this version marks the version on screen as the one to print. The slide then reads Kept. Without a choice, a slide prints its latest version.

Compare two versions, the icon with two frames, shows two versions side by side. The right side starts on the version just before. Each side has its own pills and its own Keep this version.

Retired slides​

An agent can push a whole folder of pictures. A slide missing from the latest folder push is retired. It leaves the strip and the PDF, and keeps all its versions. It comes back as soon as the agent pushes it again. A button at the end of the strip counts the retired slides and shows them.

The PDF​

Export PDF opens a save dialog. The PDF has one page per slide, with the kept version of each. Retired slides print no page. Each page takes the size of the first slide's picture. The window then gives the number of pages and the path. When a kept version is missing on disk, the export stops and names it.
