Example presentation

Currently the "Next Slide" preview in Impress does not support animations.

Here's an example

* Slide 1 shows a logo.
* Slide 2 is split up on 5 text pieces - each text-piece as a custom animation,
so only 1 text-piece is added to the slide-show every time the user presses
"Next"
* Slide 3 shows a logo again, and some contact info.


The CURRENT preview with Impress:

* When slide 1 is shown, the "Next Slide" preview shows slide 2, with ALL the 5
text-pieces.

* When slide 2 is shown, and the 1st text-piece is shown the "Next Slide"
preview shows slide 3 (showing the contact info)

* When slide 2 is shown, and the 2nd text-piece is shown the "Next Slide"
preview shows slide 3 (showing the contact info)

* When slide 2 is shown, and the 3rd text-piece is shown the "Next Slide"
preview shows slide 3 (showing the contact info)

* When slide 2 is shown, and the 4th text-piece is shown the "Next Slide"
preview shows slide 3 (showing the contact info)

* When slide 2 is shown, and the 5th text-piece is shown the "Next Slide"
preview shows slide 3 (showing the contact info)



I would suggest this instead:


* When slide 1 is shown, the "Next Slide" preview should render Slide 2, with
the 1st text-piece.

* When slide 2 is shown (And showing the 1st text-piece), the "Next Slide"
preview should render Slide 2, with the 2nd text-piece.

* When slide 2 is shown (And showing the 2nd text-piece), the "Next Slide"
preview should render Slide 2, with the 3rd text-piece.

* When slide 2 is shown (And showing the 3rd text-piece), the "Next Slide"
preview should render Slide 2, with the 4th text-piece.

* When slide 2 is shown (And showing the 4th text-piece), the "Next Slide"
preview should render Slide 2, with the 5th text-piece.

* When slide 2 is shown (And showing the 5th text-piece), the "Next Slide"
preview should render Slide 3 (showing the contact info)


This will enable the user to see how the slide will look, when "Next" is
pressed. This makes more sense in my opinion!
