LiquidVictor

A media tracking and aggregation system that can be used to build presentations.

The goal of LiquidVictor is to make building presentations easier. Many presentations need to evolve over time but often use assets from previous versions or even other presentations. If presentation assets can be organized and tracked so that the basic structure of presentations can be put together by selecting and ordering these existing assets, it would make creating and maintaining these presentations much easer.

• Assets that could be tracked include:

  • Slide content
  • Images
  • Charts and graphs
  • Links and their thumbnails
  • Code samples

• Some key features of the system may be:

  • Generate presentations in multiple formats and with different themes and aspect ratios
  • Allow the regeneration of all presentations containing a slide or image when that asset changes
  • Support the labeling of states so that a presentation can be regenerated as it was at a particular point in time

Prototypes and contribution guidelines are forthcoming.

To build the project, take the following steps:

1. Download the code repository and open the LiquidVictor solution file in Visual Studio or equivalent IDE.
2. From a console window at the root of the code repository, execute the git command git update-index --skip-worktree \src\lv\Properties\launchSettings.json to tell git not to upload any changes to that file since they are specific to your local installation.
3. Modify the \src\lv\Properties\launchSettings.json file to point to the presentation you wish to build (sample presentation repositories are forthcoming).
4. Execute the LV.exe CLI by pressing F5 in Visual Studio or invoking the proper command in your IDE.
