Hi folks,
I've asked this on the user forums without much success, so I thought I'd try the
developers. I'd like to make Impress exit automatically after playing a slideshow (invoked with
"--show"). This is what Powerpoint does when playing a .ppsx file.
I need this for a hallway display without a keyboard or mouse, so having to press escape or
click something isn't an option. We currently use Powerpoint for this, but I'd like to switch to
LibreOffice. The only thing holding us back is Impress's inability (as far as I can find) to exit
automatically after finishing the slideshow.
For more background: The hallway display shows several slideshows and some mp4 movies in a
continuous loop. When one slideshow finishes, it goes on to the next slideshow or movie (the
movies are played with VLC).
Any advice about how we can get Impress to exit automatically would be greatly appreciated.
Bryan
