My mail to David Reveman, after sending, sombody told me, it would be better to write the list. So here is my first mail to a list. . .. ... Hello, first thanks for XGL. ;) You did an amazing job with that but you already know that. My name is Nils Hobbensiefken and i come from the North of Germany and i have two questions/requests. I already used the cube on top view for a couple of presentations at school in front of my class and it was real success (Thanks again!). I'm a pupil not a teacher (only that you don't missunderstand). But there is one thing that makes it a circumstance to prepare a presentation: [I think i will quote myself from the thread (for link: see below)] For now i have to add every slide manually and i think that it's not a very funny work if you'd have 30-40 slides (you too?). Wouldn't it be better/possible to simply add the path to the folder where it can find the svgs to the gconfkey "svgs"? Or can't it be done because of technical limitations? The other thing is only a little feature for usability (So i thing it is): When i'm looking at the top of the cube at the end of a presentation i can hit the ESC-key and the Cube rolls to the workspace which is currently on bottom. Is there a hotkey for "flying" from the workspace to the top of the cube? Well, Thanks for reading, Nils. ------------ Posted it already here,... http://compiz.ed3n.com/viewtopic.php?pid=1013 ...but they said i should contact you for this, because this "two things look easy to implement and definately desirable"(Quotation) ... .. . bye, Nils Hobbensiefken -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You can use a command line like this to add all "*.svg" files in the current directory to the "svgs" key. gconftool-2 -s /apps/compiz/plugins/cube/screen0/options/svgs -t list --list-type=string "[`find $PWD -name "*.svg" -printf "%p,"`]"> > The other thing is only a little feature for usability (So i thing it > is): > > When i'm looking at the top of the cube at the end of a presentation i > can hit the ESC-key and the Cube rolls to the workspace which is > currently on bottom.
