Lobster,
Well, only you can judge if it's worth your while. But if you install Mark's
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Games/LibSDL1.2-forDoom.pup , then the program does work. And if you run it on a directory full of yantras, with
fade between images, you'll be up there with the Ascended Masters in the Grand Teton...woops...I think I might have got the wrong Ascended Masters & the wrong mountain range!

I want to ascend with yantras
but I could not get it to work
Code: Select all
The following options apply only when picture_path is a directory:
-recurse : Recurse into subdirectories
-sort S : Sort file list, where S is one of the following:
n+ : Name ascending (a-z)
n- : Name descending (z-a)
cd+ : Create date ascending (oldest first)
cd- : Create date descending (newest first)
md+ : Mofify date ascending (oldest first)
md- : Mofify date descending (newest first)
# slideshow -window -name 1c.jpg -advance 3 -random -tran random
The program is there
Marks doompup is there
I have rebooted and tried various combinations and changed Windows manager from JWM to Icewm
No Yantra
It is like the program runs - but does nothing . . .
I am using Nvidia card - should not be relevant . . .

As usual all it takes is someone with a bit of sense . . .
Thanks Mark
NOW Working - now to make use of it
Many thanks to you and Muggins
At the moment I am using Qiv for Tmxxine Vision
Shrine Builder . . . but I think I prefer this new Slideshow

--bump for question--
I've been using this on 3.01 an love it! I am now trying to employ it in a 'laptop to digital frame' conversion. I've written a few scripts to automate starting 'slideshow' with it's various options.
The issue I'm now facing is that 'slideshow' ends when it gets to the end of the file list or the end of the directory it is showing. I thought about just writing 'slideshow' into a loop but I'm not sure how to tackle it.
I have tried 'qiv' to accomplish this photo frame idea as well, but to my knowledge, it doesn't use any transitions, so it is less elegant for this project.
Any ideas?

Yes, it would be awesome to have slideshow work in a loop. That would make up a great yet tiny screensaver.

Hello,
@Muggins,
Works great.. One question?
I am using this module in a screensaver, calling it with a script that sets the param`s..
When the slideshow completes the directory, it stops..
I can loop the slideshow, but I dont want it to restart every time...
So Is there a "-repeat" param???
@edit..just read the above posts, sorry to be redundant...

To do looping, just simply follow these 2 steps
1. Create a relative link of the folder inside itself.
For example, if the folder is named "pics", you need to create a relative link of the "pics" folder inside itself. Therefore, when you click on the "pics" folder, you will see a shortcut that link to itself which you can click on it forever.
2. use -recurse
-recurse will make the slideshow call its folder when all image had been displayed. This means if the folder is the link to itself, it will loop the slideshow.
Example of the script
Code: Select all
slideshow -advance 5 -recurse /usr/share/backgrounds/
