Re: [NTG-context] SimpleSlides and Visual counters

Hi Aditya, Some time ago I reported an issue with LMTX regarding your visual counter (at least the version used in the simpleslides module). Now I think I have found where the issue comes from: it is due to the fact that somehow the conditional if PageNumber > 2 : [some code] fi ; is not treated correctly, and if one removes the conditional while keeping only [some code] above, then the visual counter is shown correctly. I am sending you the TeX file where you can see that if lines 17 and 46 are uncommented then the visual counter does not show up. Thanks for your help: Otared K.

Hi Aditya,

Thank you for your attention and your kind reply.

I am sending a setup file with an example of presentation, which shows the issue with LMTX while with mkiv the result is fine. Actually as you can see in the setup file, I have slightly modified the visula counter in order for it to be interactive (clicking in the center of the visula counter gives a jump to the previous location…).

Best regards: Otared

Hi Otared,

It seems that the visual counter in SimpleSlides module (the version I have from ConTeXt Garden is from 2014) does not work fine with the latest LMTX. Is the issue is known ? If so, is there a new version of SimpleSlides in which the issue has been fixed ?

I haven't looked at simpleslides in over a decade! The module did use some low-level macros, which are unlikely to work with LMTX without change.

It could also be a bug with visualcounter module. I haven't tested in with LMTX (I still use MkIV for most of my presentations). If you can post a minimal example, I could take a look.

Thanks, Aditya
