Hi all, in particular Aditya M. and Thomas A.S.,

It seems that the visual counter in  SimpleSlides module (the version I have from ConTeXt Garden is from 2014) does not work fine with the latest LMTX.
Is the issue is known ? If so, is there a new version of SimpleSlides in which the issue has been fixed ?

Best regards: Otared

I haven't looked at simpleslides in over a decade! The module did use some low-level macros, which are unlikely to work with LMTX without change. 

It could also be a bug with visualcounter module. I haven't tested in with LMTX (I still use MkIV for most of my presentations). If you can post a minimal example, I could take a look.

Thanks,
Aditya

Hi Aditya,

Thank you for your attention and your kind reply.

I am sending a setup file with an example of presentation, which shows the issue with LMTX while with mkiv the result is fine.
Actually as you can see in the setup file, I have slightly modified the visula counter in order for it to be interactive (clicking in the center of the visula counter gives a jump to the previous location…).

Best regards: Otared

Hi Aditya,

Some time ago I reported an issue with LMTX regarding your visual counter (at least the version used in the simpleslides module).
Now I think I have found where the issue comes from: it is due to the fact that somehow the conditional

	if PageNumber > 2 :
		
		[some code]

	fi ;

is not treated correctly, and if one removes the conditional while keeping only [some code] above, then the visual counter is shown correctly. 

I am sending you the TeX file where you can see that if lines 17 and 46 are uncommented then the visual counter does not show up.

Thanks for your help: Otared K.

Hi Otared,

I'm not Aditya, but I've encountered the same problem within 
simpleslides. Can you replace PageNumber with RealPageNumber and see 
whether this solves your problem?

Best

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your attention. Indeed I could have asked you, but since Aditya answered my previous message I continued asking him…

Anyway, you are correct: replacing PageNumber with RealPageNumber everywhere, the visual counter is shown correctly…

For the sake of the mail archives, in case someone else encounters the issue, I add the example below.

Many thanks for help !
