When doing a live presentation, I place the notebook in front of me while facing the audience. So, the projector screen is behind me, and I can see the presentation only on my notebook, unless again and again turning around for the screen and becoming less audible for the audience in the process. The current situation is this: If I run the presentation from the program, this implies that I have to declare the projector a duplicate of the notebook (main) screen. This is fine, if the resolution of the projector is not higher than that of the notebook, otherwise the resolution of the projector output will be unnecessarily scaled down to that of the notebook screen, while the resolution of the images usually is higher. Even reconfiguration of the projector as the main screen does not help in this case. If I run an EXE of the presentation, it only appears on the main screen. So, again, I have to make the projector a duplicate of the notebook screen and the situation is unchanged from the previous case. - So the first suggestion would be to include a mode, where the projector is declared as an extended screen, and each of the screens shows the presentation at its respective max. resolution. However, my actual suggestion is another one: I would prefer to have a different view on the notebook than what is shown on the projector, for being able to see the next slide before it actually appears on the projector screen. The view on the notebook (main) screen could be similar to the current program display, but the slides in the slide list at the bottom should move on, while I step through the presentation, with the current slide shown in the middle and also magnified at the top. The projector, defined as an extended screen, would just show the actual presentation at the projector's resolution.
