   Using Simply Slideshow. I would like to call SimplySlideshow.exe from a batch file, opening multiple occurrences, passing different folder paths.

   So far I haven’t figured out how to get a list of options to use in a command line.

   Is what I want to do possible?

   Thanks,
   Gary

     @Gary, unfortunately the .exe doesn’t concern with command line parameters. That said, I like the idea to load different folder/file paths at launch so you can have multiple set of images to show on a set of dual monitors for example. For now, the paths are saved at exit and loaded when you open the app. So you can have multiple instances of the app but they will have the same paths when you load them.

   I hoped this program was going to be exactly what I had been looking for. Unfortunately not at present.
   I have a security camera that records on a 2gb sd card and when I eventually check the pictures, there can be hundreds to examine. The background is static so only the changes in pictures are needed. That means I can scroll through pictures hopefully faster than 1 a second.

     @albert, I can look into going less than 1 per second in future release but having said that the program was meant to be recreational. Sliding too fast defeats the purpose. Why not do it in thumbnail view (Extra Large Icons)in windows explorer to scan through images?

   Run v1.1.22, adding photos, START SlideShow … and crash!
   In v1.0.35 not!

     @pepa, try uninstall and reinstall v1.1.22. You shouldn’t have to do that but just in case. Anyhow, I’ve never had a crash since the upgrade and so is my friends. If it’s still crashing drop me an email with a screenshot.

   I’m using Simply Slideshow and it works great. Is there a way to loop continuously through the images without using the repeat random image option until you quit the slideshow? I only use 2-4 slides, but they are shown all day on a screen.
   If I use the ‘Repeat Random Image’ option, it seems to show randomly a black screen for the same duration as the other images.
   Also, if a picture is added to the folder been used; is there a way to show that image in the current slideshow without the need to close and restart the slideshow?

   Thanks,
   Elias

     @elias, those are great ideas! Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to loop images in non-random mode, but certainly something I have been looking into adding in the next release. The black screen issue is likely a bug, I notice that the screen would go black in some cases if you pause and resume the slideshow. Otherwise, it hasn’t happen to me yet if you just let it run without interruption.

     If I understand your last question correctly, you want to add more files/folders during the slideshow? Yeah.. there is a problem right now with that… it will end your slideshow if you change the list of files and folders.

     Thanks for your comment!
