Exit slideshow using mouse?

Post by tree »

Greetings,

Is there a way to stop the slide show with the mouse? The only way I can figure out how to do it is to use the "Esc" key. I've tried single/double click with all the buttons and nothing works.

XP Home, cordless mouse man optical.

Thanks, Mark

It appears to me that it is currently impossible to stop a slideshow with the mouse. Clicking the mouse to proceed to the next slide is obviously useful. So how would one combine this with a mouse exit function?

When using mouse or keyboard to go between slides, I would find it useful to be able to go back to the previous slide. This could be implemented with the Backspace key and a right mouseclick.

And perhaps a double mouseclick could be used (in addition to the Esc key) to quit the slideshow.

Currently exiting the slide show using the mouse is not possible. I've just had a look at the mouse and keyboard navigation in the slide show.

Some inconsistencies and suggestions:

1 - When viewing images in fullscreen, the fullscreen mode can be exited using the middle mouse key. In slide show, the middle mouse key does nothing.
-> Middle mouse key should exit the slide show. Double click could also exit the slide show (not all users have a mouse with three buttons).

2 - Currently the transition to the next slide is triggered by timer or user. When timer is used, the mouse is disabled, but the keyboard isn't.
-> If transition is triggered by timer, there should be an extra option
[ ] Disable user interaction
Once this option is triggered, both mouse and keyboard should be disabled. Only Esc key (or even a user definable key combination) should exit the slide show.

3 - In image view mode, Page up & Page down navigates to the previous/Next image. And Pos1/End key to the first and last image. In slide show this does not work. (Cursor up/down/right/left can be used to navigate, only)
-> Page/Up down and Pos1/End should all be supported for navigating in slide show.

These are just some ideas to make usage easier, input is welcome.
