Hi,
pointless seem exactly what I was looking for for some time now...
Prosper just doesn't cut it...
Now, I have immediate problems:
a) Installing was a pain... rpm from suse didn't work complaining
about pllshared missing... rpm from your site didn't work with the
same complaint... Downloaded source, copied all modues to
python2.3/site-specific and hacked and pth file to have all modules
there... Now it works.
b) Started hacking viewme.pll, undocumented:
=slide.set('move_in':0.0, 0.0, -400.0)
=slide.set('move_out':0.0, 0.0, -400.0)
=slide.set('in_delay':0.2)
and now it crashes with
This is pointless, Version 0.5
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pointless", line 1989, in ?

TypeError: unsubscriptable object
I then hacked the actual pointless and I could achieve the slides
flying all over the place... However,
c) I want to make fade in and fade out faster... So exactly what is
happening at the moment but faster... If I change just in_delay, the
fade in starts happening before previous slide fades_out completelly,
which is not what I want... I just want it to go faster... Looked at
the documentation but couldn't find anything useful...
Any hints?
