Title: A Good Slideshow program
Post by: Tenacious on June 09, 2008, 05:11:40 AM

Reguardless of what ppl say about Windows, it has a decent program for looking at lots of pictures in a directory.  It can flip them, delete them, move up and down the list with a press of the cursor keys.  Most importantly, it's very convenient for going thru lots pics quickly.

Is there anything like this for our favorite machine?  I'm looking for something for OS3.9, 68K cpu, and Picasso graphics that displays jpegs - so uses datatypes (and maybe Multiview).  I would prefer something with a small footprint.  Maybe a script that runs in Dopus would be ideal.

Anyone?

or just put viewtek, or ppshow in c: and create a button in dopus 4, no scripting needed.

Photo Album is absolutely brilliant. You can have a slideshow, static displays, Datatypes, rotate, rename, delete, move all from the same program.

I love it!

Photo Album gets my vote too. Here's a screengrab I took and uploaded yonks ago...

'Picshow' with 'Thumb' gave pretty good results too IIRC. Before I had a GFX card I used to get reasonably good pic viewing by having PPshow in my C drawer of Workbench and typing a command like:-

PPshow Time 5 LOOP Work:Pix ALL

Thanks guys!  I've dl'ed everything mentioned so far.  Hopefully, I'll get the chance to try them out tonight.

Funny, I searched Aminet with the keywords "slide" and "show", I don't think any of these turned up.  Glad I asked!
