The slide previews in the Speaker Notes window of Google Slides are tiny and unreadable. This extension automatically resizes the slides when the window is resized, and allows the user to drag the sidebar to select a size.

Hi, I'm Dean 👋

I've been creating widely-used open source projects since 2014. I believe in releasing all my useful software products and knowledge into the wild so that everyone can benefit from them!

My office hours schedule for existing sponsors

You can see a list of my popular tools on my Projects page.

Please consider supporting my work ❤️ for everyone's benefit. I currently spend about half my time on open source and my other half on paying the bills by providing private consulting. My goal is to transition to only open source to reach more people with my work.

gslides-betternotes-extension's Issues

Enlarge "upcoming slide" thumbnail as well

A few people requested this feature, look into it when I have a free day

Doesn't work in offline mode

This is a great extension - the image of the slide is actually useful now 😆

Unfortunately, it doesn't work in offline mode, which is a massive shame. I don't know if it's possible to do that, but it would be very useful.

Regardles, thank you very much for making and sharing this incredibly useful tool.

Doesn't work with the new Q&A features.

Hi there!

First of all, thank you for this extension: it's great. Its only issue is that it doesn't appear to work with the new Q&A feature. I'll show an example:

When, I click on 'Start new' to actually activate the Q&A, this happens:

I'll try to look more into the actual missing CSS properties, as it seems that this is just a consequence of the Q&A feature being newer than the script.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of null

When I install the extension and I open the speakernotes I recieve the following error in the Chrome Developers Console of the editor/presentation: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of null

It appears it cannot find the aria-label attribute from the body.

Is there an option to relocated the timer

This is a great extension that had helped me make much better presentations, as I can use the preview slides as my servants instead of my master.

Anyway, I notice that the timer takes valuable reading space from the preview slide. Is there an option to move it, let's say, to the R/H side where the speaker notes reside?

Thank you so much...

Not fully removed

Hi. I loved your extension but Google has caught up so no longer require it. Thank-you though - loved it! When I removed it, it now prevents my "Next" slide from showing in Presenter Mode. Looks like theres a white square added I can't get rid off. I removed extension but it has left "bits". How can i completely remove? Thanks.
[EDIT] It's now happening on Previous and Next. See attached - little white square added in each makes standard format unusable... Thx.

Allow the user to manually drag/resize the thumbnail sizes

Audience tools update broke the extension

Google pushed an update on May 4th to add audience tools to the presenter view, and now the extension doesn't work.

Extension doesn't work anymore

Hi Dean,
first of all, I like to thank you for this great extension. I use it frequently and it really improves the quality of my talks.

Unfortunately, since 2 - 4 days, the extension doesn't work anymore (last Wednesday was the last time I used it). When I now enter the presentation mode, there is no slider for resizing the size of the preview anymore. I guess there was an update in Google Slides.

I'm using Chrome 69 and Ubunutu 16.04 & 17.08.

I'm not sure if you are still maintaining this great extension, but I keep my fingers crossed. :-)

Kind Regards,
Philipp

extra language

Can you add NL-nl (Dutch) as a language?

Compatibility with current Chrome/Google slides

Hi,

Your plugin/extensions is really great but the current version seems to suffer from update on Google slides.

I've checked the source code, but I was not able to found the cause of the bug.
The bar allowing to resize seems to be out of sync with the comment bar.

When I use the bar to resize the slide part, only the left (previous) slides changes its size but the right (next) slides doesn't.

Thank for your help.

BTW, I really like your plugin, but I would love to have a mode with only current and next slides in full size and nothing else… I will try to develop a plugin for this if possible.
