Today we posted an update to pptPlex that has two changes: it now works with PowerPoint 2010 and supports multi-touch in Windows 7!
Even though we officially stopped working on pptPlex quite a while ago, you've probably noticed that we still play with it in our free time (for example, controlling presentations with a Wii controller and a 3D camera). We noticed that pptPlex wasn't working with PowerPoint 2010, so we took some time to get it working with the latest version of PowerPoint.
Today’s update fixes a few compatibility bugs with PowerPoint 2010, but it also includes an important user experience change with regard to sections.
In PowerPoint 2007, there was no concept of sections, thus pptPlex added the concept. In PowerPoint 2010, there is a concept of sections, thus pptPlex takes advantage of that concept. What this means is that when you’re using pptPlex in PowerPoint 2010, to create, remove, or rename a section, you’ll need to use the PowerPoint user experience, not the pptPlex experience. There will be no “Insert New Section” button in the pptPlex ribbon, and the section divider slides won’t be necessary.
