Feature: timer in presenter view (I am willing to implement it)

[davidedelvento]

I miss and I think I add some javascript to include a timer next to the presenter notes in presenter view. I have mixed feelings on how to implement this, though.

On one hand, I can do that pretty easily just with a few lines of HTML in the theme and a companion javascript file (experimenting with it now).

On the other had, while the previous solution works, it would need the user to cut-and-paste at least the relevant HTML from one theme to another, and/or may add clutter if they don't want to see such a timer. So one other option would be a command line switch which, when enabled, would inject said HTML next to the Presenter Notes from the code. This would work with any theme.

What do you think? What do you believe is best approach and why?

I would love to have this feature. My idea was to have a setting in the configuration for the minutes planned. After starting the presenter view would show two progress bars: One for the number of slides already shown. One for the time left. The presenter could try to have both bars at about the same progress level....
