- (2025-02-05) Silvio Salomone: Almost perfect. I would have added some effects and also the possibility to vary the time not only to 10,20... secs but alsto at 5,15,25, etc
- (2024-11-06) Fritz Lott: I wanted a simple digital frame to randomly run our vacation photos on the kitchen TV. Photo Slideshow easily projects our 3,711 JPEGs and it does so randomly such that every photo seems fresh. I am using a Dell Inspiron 3050 with Ubuntu 24 for cheap installation and easy maintenance. Thank you, Martin, for all your helpful support. You've engineered something wonderful!
- (2024-05-01) David Ptak: Did the job on a Chromebook with a little fiddling. Wanted to have this work offline - and I found the files had to be put in the "Play Files" directory tree - not the "Downloads" tree. The "folder" address for the Slideshow "Options" was something like file:///run/arc/sdcard/write/emulated/0/Pictures - in case that helps someone else. To find the address of the folder I dragged a photo from the Files window to a Chrome window - and the the path needed for "Options" was shown in the Chrome address bar. One star off for the tech fiddling and also would have liked an option to have the photos be static on the Slideshow - not just in motion (panning). But thank you for sharing this extension!
