Hello,

I'm in my test period for that great piece of software and I'm having a problem : in some of the courses I'm following, teachers give their slides to students only after the course is finished, but I would be pleased to let Pear Note record slide changes even if there isn't any slides at the moment. Then, when the slides are made available, I could integrate them into the corresponding Pear Note document.
At the moment I am testing a way to do such a thing involving a dummy slides I will change in the future. So I hope when the slides will be released Pear Note would be able to keep the recorded slide changes.
But this is a tricky way, so what about including this in your software ?

Thanks !

That sounds like a great suggestion. It would probably only be useful if the teacher had slide number on the slides (otherwise you'd have to be really good at keeping track of how many slides you'd gone through). At the moment, dummy slides provide a workaround, but I'll look at integrating something similar in the future directly into Pear Note. No promises (as I try not to make promises about future features), but I'll add it to the list of possible future features.

Thanks,
Chad

Hello,
I totally agree with joinfh2s. I have been doing the samething for the same reason. THIS IS A MUST: SLIDE POSITION SHOULD BE EDITABLE AFTER THE CONFERENCE. PLEASE, add some kind of feature in order to be able to sync slides after having saved the session.
Thank you,
Ed.

Thanks for the feedback Ed. Did you mean to attach an image? This forum doesn't support image uploads (though you could upload it elsewhere and link to it here).

Note that you can edit slide changes after recording. Just play your notes and click the lock next to "Unlock to modify text". Then, watch/listen to your note and change slides. The slides changes will be recorded.

What you can't do right now is record slide changes without slides. So, if you want to record slide changes before you get ahold of the slides, you're out of luck. Dummy slides provide a work-around (as you can then change slides with the dummy slides and replace them later with the real ones), but there's no feature in Pear Note to address this.

Again, thanks for the vote. I think it's a good idea, but it's never bubbled up to the top of the TODO list due to lack of user interest. Thanks to you, user interest just doubled.
