Hi Joel, Thanks for the feedback! The latest version from github https://github.com/vporpo/xfig-slides does support ranges (e.g. "4-8") in the edit box, but it does not support ranges with no lower or higher limit. This is indeed a feature that is missing. I will definitely try to implement it. Regarding updating the slide numbers for many objects, the way you can do it is by grouping them, setting the slide numbers for the group and then ungrouping them. Personally, I am mostly using the "New slide"...

Hi Thomas, Thank you for your detailed reply. Regarding the options you mentioned for creating slides: I am not very familiar with the tikz language and how you could animate it with the pause 'special' text commands you mention.

Hi there! I have developed a prototype plugin to xfig-3.2.6a for making it easier to animate xfig figures, for use in presentations (usually latex). The code is hosted here: https://github.com/vporpo/xfig-slides You have to configure with --enable-slides The way slides work is by annotating the objects with slide numbers. When the "export slides" button is clicked, multiple .fig files are automatically generated and exported to the exported format. I have put together a brief tutorial here: http://vporpo.me/xfig_slides/index.html...
