The slideshow always advanced on its own after the slide duration.
The new Manual slideshow setting (Settings > Slideshow > Playback, or
manual in slideshow.playback and view.slideshow) keeps each slide, the
intro and the ending up until the right or left arrow or the control
bar changes it. Space, Esc, random order and repeat work as before.
Exports still use the slide duration. The setting is saved with the
library and in slideshow templates; a template without it reads as off.
View > Export Slideshow... (and Export PDF / JPEG / Video in Settings >
Slideshow) writes the photos in view as their composed slides, between
the intro and ending screens that are on:
- PDF: a page per slide (1024/1920/3840 px long side, JPEG quality),
/Dur and /Trans fades per page, optional /PageMode /FullScreen. The
contact sheet's writer moves to engine/src/pdf.rs and streams to disk.
- JPEG: <name>-001.jpg... in a folder.
- Video: AV1 (rav1e, speed 10, low latency) in MP4 or WebM written by
our own muxers (codecs/src/video.rs); fades rendered as blended frames,
held slides one key-frame sample with a long duration; 720p/1080p,
24/30 fps; no audio; capped at 2 hours.
slideshow.export runs in the background with a row in the activity
stack (activity.cancel stops it); outputs are written as .part and
renamed when complete, so cancel or failure leaves nothing behind. A
photo that can't be rendered is skipped with a warning.
slideshow.exportStatus reports the result.
