Placing a Web Show on CD
Web shows can be created and placed on CD-ROMs, Zip drives, floppy disks and other removable media. This allows you to create and distribute shows to anyone with a web browser. Since the web show is self contained on the media there is no need for the person viewing to have SlideShow or even a PC!
To create a stand-alone show to be placed on CD-ROM:
Create, edit and test a show using SlideShow.
Create a web show from the SlideShow.
Place the web show files on the CD-ROM
Place all the referenced files or images on the CD-ROM.
Your users can start their show by simply selecting the start show page.
You can also make a CD-ROM self booting by adding a configuration file in the CD-ROMs boot directory, using a autorun.inf file. Contact Beagle Software support for more information about the bootable CD-ROM setup.
Importing and Exporting Bookmarks
SlideShow can import a bookmark file generated by Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator to be used in creating a new slide show. When importing bookmarks, SlideShow reads the file and makes each link in the bookmark file a separate slide. Individual slides can then be edited to add sound, change pause time or change the overall order of slides in a show.
Exporting a show to a bookmark file lets you translate a slide show for use as a list of bookmarks in Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. When exported each slide will appear as a link in the bookmark file, which is a standard web page.
To export a show to bookmark file in SlideShow:
Chose File->Import and Export->Export bookmarks
Pick a directory and a name for the bookmark file.
SlideShow will create a bookmark file from the existing slide show creating a link for each slide in the show.
To import a bookmark file into SlideShow:
Chose File->Import and Export->Import bookmarks
Find the bookmark file to import.
SlideShow will create a new show, creating a new slide from each link in the bookmark file.
