Stepping mechanism in MkIV

Stepping mechanism in MkIV

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi Hans,

The current stepping mechanism (s-pre-60) is not too convinient because 
you have to click the screen to go to next screen. It will be nice if one
could go to next screen using page down (and to previous screen using page 
up).

Another annoyance is that it only works with acroread and does not work 
with evince (I don't know how well it works with preview).

Are there any plans to have a mkiv based stepping mechanism? If so, it 
will be nice to have an option to be able to create multiple pages, one 
for each step.

Thanks,
Aditya

That already exists: pre-50.

Best wishes,

As I understand from our discussions at Brejlov, the mechanism relies on 
layers, and layers are not currently supported by poppler, thus unavailable in 
evince (gnome) and okular (kde). So, for the moment we are stuck with 
acroread.
