Command Reference


Command: set

Sets various 'system' parameters. That is: parameters on how Yassa should behave.

Parameters:

show_filenames = yes | no

Whether the filename of the current image (or the most recent image, if more than one is being shown) should be printed at the bottom of the screen.

show_counts = yes | no

Whether to print the current slide, and number of slides (in the bottom-left corner).

allow_pointer = yes | no

Whether the user should be allowed to toggle the pointer on and off.

allow_screengrabs = yes | no

Allows you to save the current slide as a sprite (with ctrl + S). Saves the sprite in the current directory.

Notes:

This command may be used as many times as you like, if you want to change behaviour at different times during a presentation. Note that all the parameters are optional: if a parameter isn't used in a set command then it is left unchanged.

When a script is autogenerated, a set command tends to be added early-on (usually just after a screen command).
