The last slide should default to last to the end of the audio track

Open jarthurgross opened this issue 11 years ago • 4 comments

I was very confused after going through and marking all my slide transitions that the audio cutoff right before my last slide. I realized that I had to place a mark for the end of my last slide in the audio panel, otherwise my last slide wouldn't have data-bc-end or data-bc-start set in the html, and the playback would stop at the end of my penultimate slide.

This behaviour is counterintuitive and frustrating, so I think the last slide should default to have data-bc-end set to the length of the audio track.

I usually used larger audio files (for testing) so I wasn't sure if this situation should or not be a design decision. Till I will be implementing a record-per-slide function I guess that I can consider the length of audio to be the same as the length of the presentation.

Perhaps there's a way to serve both use cases? Perhaps a radio button to have the presentation last to the end of the audio or only to the last marked transition. As it stands there's not an easy way to mark the end of the audio file as a transition in the web interface, and it seems suboptimal to require the user to open up the audio file, find the length of the track down to the hundredth-of-a-second, and manually edit the html.

Really sorry... I didn't get it in the first place. You were actually talking about a bug... Testing with large audio files I never waited till the end of the audio file to see what is happening. You are right. I will try to fix this as soon as possible. Thanks a lot for pointing it out again.

Till the bug will be resolved please use an audio file that is a little bit longer and add a sync transition for the last slide before the audio track is finished. I know that's not a perfect solution but will work for the time being.
