The page load times for a page that contains a SlideDeck are disappointing. I have found other slide plugins that load much faster and it would be a huge improvement on the program if this were fixed.

Putting it in an iframe doesn't count. Nor is that helpful for SEO. I need it to be truly responsive.

I use the same settings for each slide, so it's frustrating having to re-do it over and over every time I make a new SlideDeck. It would be great if there was a way to save the configuration set up!

It would also be great if there was a way to access all previous playlists sets, rather than just tje most recent ones (make the list alphabetical).

Any specific points where you think the performance needs to be improved ? When loading the first time ? When transitioning from one slide to another ?

Hello, and thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback. I was a bit sad to find out after purchasing the developer addition of SlideDeck 1 & 2 that it didn't have lifetime updates (1 year). I would have to re-purchase my license with every new version due to the slow development pace. I do understand the why, but at the very least have an upgrade path with lower costs for previous users.

Create an all-slide feature where, no caption, size without cropping can be done for all slides in a slideshow with one click rather than having to format each slide separately. This would be a big time saver! (I know you can do it...it works on the Facebook Upload.)

There are too few styles and options to choose from. Let the community contribute.

I use SlideDeck for creating sequences of informative panels, and when viewing on a mobile device it would be very handy to have the option to tap and expand the slide to fill the available screen, rather than keep it bound within the dimensions on the embedded web page.

I would like to be able to control the background colors (switch to transparent easily) of the entire slidedeck and add rounded corners easily to the project.
Been struggling with custom css and it is not playing nice :(

Thanks!

Unhook SlideDeck from WordPress and restore it as a customizable Front-End developer solution for use in any type of website project. At the same time, produce a simpler, more user-friendly SlideDeck for WordPress.

Any SEO optimization improvement areas for the slider ? e.g. alt tags for the images ?

Don't let your support slip any further! It's been a little shoddy of late.

It takes a number of prods before there is response. Sometimes the response isn't helpful. Eg: "yes, it is possible to do XYZ." But then you leave the instructions out. Or neglect to even give a clue how to do that.

It would be great if we could have images rotate, split and rotate. Also allow images and/or text to dynamically slide in and out of slides from all sides, top, right, bottom or left.

Allow an option to NOT load responsive slideshow in iFrames. iFrames slow initial load down, are not truly responsive, are bad for SEO and make custom styles a pain.

Currently if you pick swipe navigation, you lose the ability to zoom in on images in the slideshow when you're on a phone.

I LOVE SlideDeck and it's really nice that it works with custom post types, but we have had requests from clients for more than one post type or source being used in a single slide deck, and were disappointed to learn that it couldn't be done. This would be a great new feature to include in future versions.

give layout options like the size and placement of text areas,
pixel-based control of line thickness
better support for mobile and less mobile bugs
custom background images/thumbnails for videos
custom fonts
or even a simple list of the CSS classes to help us easily customize it.
if you made them easier to customize, even at a code level, I'd love this product, instead of it being an example of an itch almost scratched

There's custom frames, import locations etc. It's all too complicated for a client or ourselves to use. I tend to use RoyalSlider for everything now, if you could provide something similar or better then we may consider using SlideDeck again, it had so much hope when it started.

But could consider to go back to slidedeck as I already hold a dev license for it. I think it needs a serious make over. The layouts looks old and boring. It should of course be responsive by default.
But ok, I did not play much with slidedeck lately, maybe its been improved already?
