I have the following problem: I tried to create a diashow. I switched on "Add folders adds folders and all its subfolders" in the diashow dialog. The diashow runs well if I start the show in xnview directly via menu. I use the following folder structure:
pictureroot\subfolder1\picture1.jpg ...
pictureroot has only subfolders and no pictures. The specified diashow path is "pictureroot".
And now my problem: If I save the diashow in a sld file and I try to start the sld-file it does not work. If I change the path in the sld file from pictureroot\ to pictureroot\subfolder1\ the diashow starts and works fine.
I changed already the "WatchDir = 1", but no success. I think, if I start the sld file directly, then the xnview software doesn't scan subfolders. If I start the diashow in xnview via menu, then all subfolders will be scanned.
Could somebody help me to solve this problem ?

Re: diashow and subfolders
I think the slide show option "add folders and subfolders" is not considered in sld option file:

How knows the XnView software to integrate subfolders? Is this a general mistake?
