Screen Saver & Monitor Power Saving During Slideshow

Post by rtbcomp »

The screen saver and monitor power saving need to be disabled during a slideshow.

I've found a work-around for this problem.

Install Free Mouse Auto Clicker http://www.advanced-mouse-auto-clicker. ... otial.html

Set Xnview so that Transition = "Use Timer" is on and "Use keyboard press or mouse" is off.

This should give "MouseNav = 0" near the top of the SLD file - edit it with Notepad if necessary.

Set the click interval in Mouse Clicker just less than the kick-in time for the screen saver.

If you set "Use keyboard press or mouse" to "on" and "Use Timer" to "off" the slideshow will advance when auto clicker activates.

I didn't test it in combination with the Slideshow, but Caffeine is a fine tool ...

Thanks for that Peter.

I've just run a slideshow for 30 mins with my screen blanker set to 10 mins and it worked fine.

I didn't bother setting any parameters.

Cheers,

Roger
