Now that I know it's still alive, I'm off to make a donation.

I was able to find an active download link for the current version (1.2.8) at http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/Phoenix-Slides-Download-8284.html. Choose the "Softpedia Secure Download" link, as the regular link tries to get it from blyt.net.
I hope that this is a temporary outage and not a permanent disappearance, since this last version was released only four months ago. The developer had said that they were halting development, but their comment on this page implies that they were not planning to leave this program to become abandonware.

I am doctor and i study and review my study material with the help of images and slides.
I used to use picasa syncing, web syncing so much more just for the use of using the slideshow function. In one masterstroke Pheonix Slides has won over all of them.
I was most amazed when i saw that you can use slideshow even with the accuracy of decimal points.
Thank you so much, my friend, for helping me with such a wonderful software. It has changed my life and my studies. Excellent!

"What happened to the "donations" button?
I am grateful to everyone who has contributed over the years: localizers, icon designers, bug reporters, and all those who made donations. Unfortunately, circumstances prevent me from actively continuing development of Phoenix Slides in the foreseeable future, and I think it is appropriate to retire the donation button.
If you like Phoenix Slides, and you appreciate the fact this incredible piece of software is available to you for free (I am being very modest here, of course), I encourage you to pay-it-forward, as appropriate to your means and your talents.
You are still welcome to contact me for whatever reason, of course."
Thanks for all your hard work over the years, Dominic. Best wishes to you.

I can easily skip going out to eat every once in a while to show my appreciation for some of the excellent freeware developers who make my workday so much easier. I hope you can too. Peace!

Phoenix is defenitely a classic, that I keep coming back to.
If you like the clear and fast working of Phoenix, you'll love Easyfind. The fastest file browser on the Mac. It's free and finds more files than Spotlight. Also works on a powerPC.

Lacks : sub-folders settings, an option for file info not showing, and a simple transition effect.
