self-containable presentations & navigation

[eyerouge]

Let's play with the thought that I give plenty of lectures and will have around 100 different presentations, and also give them o places where there is no internet at times (all of which happens to be true):

1. Will there be an easy way to organize presentations into groups/dirs and/or with tags?
2. Where is the data for a presentation saved, and can it be saved in such a way that all images for it are in the same dir?

I'm actually working on a version that can run as a native desktop application and save presentations to your local filesystem. I think that will end up solving both those issues for you.

For the general case of giving one presentation or editing your 3 favorite ones when there is no wifi, localStorage should suffice though (except for images probably …).

With the updates made for #37 this should be pretty achievable with just localStorage. We should have a way to browse the local filesystem for resources instead of having to enter their URL, however.

@ahmadabdolkader has already added image importing via a file browser to his fork.

Actually regarding the local filesystem thing – wouldn’t that be something for the HTML5 filesystem API? We don’t need a desktop app for that.

[tantaman]

Interesting. I never knew there was a filesystem API in HTML5.

I never experimented with it myself but this is an article I meant to read several times: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/filesystem/
