The buttons and filename are currently just displayed when Slideshow.html is opened with #controls appended, otherwise (by default) there are none. Also, run normally, there is currently a 30 second interval between slides. (Feedback on that time would be great, by the way! I was thinking more like 40-50 seconds at first, but found 30 worked well for me personally. I've been meaning to test it on other people to find the best one). I agree having forward and back buttons is good, but I don't know about Pause. Someone may want it if they are a slow reader, but then why not just press Back if the slide changes? Having a pause button means people must keep track of the state, which is fine for stuff like videos but rather ugly for a still slideshow where there is no obvious sign that it's progressing. Back and forward, though... the reasoning for those ones keeps piling up :) I just committed a little test program written in Python, which displays the slideshow the normal way (with Webkit), along with a fake progress bar on the bottom.
