Hi Marc,

wow, Osaka sounds great. That must be exciting. I have been there as a
kid, but I don't remember much.

As for the index view problem, I noticed that the index view is not
terribly responsive in Firefox. With Opera and Chrome it seems to work
better.

The first version of the index view worked more or less as you described
(just without the scroll bar). However, I think the problem might be
that on every user interaction the positions of all the slides are
recalculated and than the slides are shifted one by one. I know that's
how the original code works and I think it is still similar with the
current implementation (although we have pages now).

I think it might help to draw all the slides first and than just move
the viewport (after implementing the zoom based stuff, I got some
experience moving viewports :-)). It should be quite easy then to make
it move either a whole page or just a line.

Cheers,
Hannes
