Toggle aspect ratio in presenter mode

[a1880]

By chance, I've discovered that the aspect ratio can be toggled between 16:9 and 4:3 by clicking on the aspect ratio in the bottom status bar.

It would be even more helpful, to add this feature to the preview window in presenter mode.
In presenter mode, it becomes apparent, if the aspect ratio might need adjustment.

Hi @a1880,

Thank you for this feature request. I am unsure whether this addition would be the safest thing to add to the live presentation mode. The toggle allows the user to switch aspect ratio when creating, but if the user were to accidentally hit this button during a presentation I think that it would be far worse when presenting.

If there were enough potential features, a menu within the presenter window for slides could be introduced but at this time I feel that this should be held back.

In my church community I come across a variety of outdated beamers, some of them still 4:3.
I was thinking of a situation where the presenter becomes aware of the beamer limitation right at the beginning of the talk.
Therfore, it appears helpful to me to react flexibly on such shortcomings without diving into sub-menus.

But this is only relevant to casual Kova users.
The pros can simply go back to edit mode and adjust the aspect ratio there.

I'm a bit hesitant, but here is another idea:
What if Kova would also support non-slide formats like "A4 portrait" or "A6 postcard"?
This would open up Kova to be used as general purpose writing tool beyond slide presentations.

I've just seen a C++ rant video.
The take-away for Kova could be to keep it small and simple rather than continue adding new features for exotic edge cases.

Best,

Axel
