Zoom into slides
It would be great if you could zoom into slides via a pinch gesture (like in Preview, for example).
This can, for example, be helpful to explain mathematical formulas.
We will continue digging into this. Maybe this feature finds its way into an upcoming release.
Websites not visible on secondary screen
Great app!
If you use the presenter’s display and a secondary screen/projector (via extended display) and then open a website on your slides, the website is only visible on the presenter’s display, not on the actual screen (for the audience).
This is not the intended behaviour and I cannot reproduce the issue. Could you please provide more detailed information about the setup where you experience the issue (what exactly do you mean by “via extended display”)? I just tested the last published release and used a mac (via airplay) as the secondary device as well as a monitor via HDMI: in both cases opening a link to a website shows the site on the secondary display.
It is worth noting that opening an external link (for different reasons too complicated to explain here) makes the iPad to mirror its primary display on the secondary screen used for presentation. I assume that this is not compatible with your setup (“via extended display”) but would need further details (see above). Maybe we could get in touch via email to find a solution.
Pencil reconfig
For some reasons the text written by pencil does not stay. The one written by finger stays. It would be nice that the pencil notes stay. I’d also use finger to point in that setup.
It could be programmable in settings.
Otherwise, very very nice app, that replaces PPT and Keynote
The behavior you mention comes with the „scribble“ feature of the Apple Pencil turned on within the pencil settings (see the hint in our help page). Please turn the feature off and the pencil should work as suggested.
With release 2.1d our app supports the scribble feature and it can stay turned on without harm.
Support internal hyperlinks
Thank you for the app.
Please support standard pdf internal navigation using the `/GoTo` action, which allows hyperlinks to navigate to another page or destination within the same pdf. External web links already work, but internal `/GoTo` links currently do not.
With release 2.1d we provide support of PDF GoTo actions — please visit our help page for details.
Recording Movie
I love your presenter software. However, I really need to make a movie file. When I start displaying a PDF, the record button is disabled. Did I do something wrong?
I assume you did not connect your iPad to any secondary display via HDMI or AirPlay. Since the magic ink should not become part of a video, screen recording is implemented for any secondary display only. Accordingly, the recording button only is enabled when your presentation is shown on a projector, the display of a Mac or any other screen. Hope this feedback solves your problem, otherwise just drop an email.
Use remote Satechi
Thanks for the nice app. It seems not possible to go to next or previous slide with the remote Satechi R2. All the other presenter programs are working on this remote. Thank you for looking at the issue.
According to google, Satechi R2 in presentation mode emulates a standard wireless keyboard. For “previous slide” it sends the left-arrow key code, for “next slide” the right-arrow key code. This is exactly what magicPresenter reacts on. However, please be aware that changing slides with a presenter is only possible if the laser pointer tool is active and you are not editing the presenter notes text. Please be aware that changing slides by arrow keys also does not work if you control your iPad completely without touching the screen, by using the Full Keyboard Access feature (Settings > Accessibility > Keyboards > Full Keyboard Access).
Unfortunately, we do not own a Satechi presenter, thus cannot test its use. If before hints do not help, please get in touch so that we can find a solution together.
