Hi Otared,
I think you're best off following Aditya's suggestion. Excuse me for
saying that I still don't find your use case quite compelling and would
be very reluctant to introduce a change in design which rests on so many
ifs (if there are only few topics and if interaction is desired...).
Moreover, I'm not quite certain what you're looking for: a special slide
that will hold some sort of TOC? Or a list of topics that will be
displayed on every slide (as in s-pre-19, provided in the distribution)?
What is a "topic": every slide title? Or a sort of section that will
encompass several slides?
As for the counter: that may be possible, but is far beyond my coding
ability. There is an interactionmenu which is part of the distribution
(see scrn-but.mkvi); maybe it would be easier if you used this rather
than the counters provided by simpleslides.
All best
Thomas
