Sessionfire

Beta Test

To install just download the current ZIP for your platform and unpack it. And open SessionFire.exe / SessionFire.app.

As this is a beta test we would love to here about you feedback.

Build 30.05.2010:

This build includes only internal changes.

Build 17.04.2010:

Changes in this build:

New feature: Grouped Presentations, including new layouts and animations for grouped presentations. This gives you the option to throw away your outline slide and visualize groups within your presentations right away.
New feature: Customize the overview look of a presentation. This allows you to decide yourself what people should see before you switch to the first image. This gives you the unique possibility to really use the overview setting to illustrate what will happen during your presentation.
Smoother animations: The kind of animations are unchanged, but they are visualized a lot smoother now - using vertical sync for the technical interested users. :-)
New feature: Drag & Drop your images and folders onto the main window to open presentations.
Linux build: There is a linux build available now, but it is just an experimental version. You might observe problems with the central control panel and the full screen mode. Feedback on this is highly appreciated.
Bugfix: Screen cheese on windows fixed.

Build 15.12.2009:

New feature: You can save your settings for a presentation - and those settings are restored automatically when the presentation is loaded again.
New feature: Control the exact scaling of focused shapes, allows you to zoom the shape you watch to real full-screen or even more.
New feature: Control the space between shapes, allows you to avoid overlap between shapes in all settings.
New feature: New "Go-To" animation for moving to the next shape without a visible animation.
New feature: You can now enable and disable the reflection of the shapes.
New feature: We added a timer that allows you to step through your shapes automatically. You can define the time each shape should be shown and start and stop the timer. This makes SessionFire the perfect tool for Pecha-Kucha style presentations.
New feature: New button to start a presentation (full-screen mode) directly.
New feature: New integrated help shows some explanations of the features from within the application.
Circle layout now always produces a layout that fits on the screen.
Splash screen integrated for fast startup feedback.
On Mas OS X platforms Sessionfire can be quit using the default keystroke (Command-Q).
New widget library used for improved look of central control panel.

Build 19.11.2009:

Dialog now shows progress when loading a presentation, incl. the option to cancel the operation.
Scalability problems fixed when loading lots of images (several hundreds), this is now possible and does not cause performance or memory problems.
Several internal refactorings and minor improvements.

Build 03.11.2009:

Fixed problems that caused Sessionfire to hang upon startup on Windows.
Tremendously reduced the amount of cpu cycles Sessionfire consumes. Their is almost no overhead anymore when there is no action taking place.
Added additional navigation keystrokes: Home (beginning), End (end), Goto (type a number and press Enter to go directly to that keyframe).
