selecting files for a slideshow

[kefir_sub]

Hello,

Is it possible to improve the slideshow feature so that you could easier select the files for the slideshow and change their order?

What I have in mind is a dedicated <slideshow mode> of kinds, where you would work with the thumbnails as normal but:
1.but you could drag and drop them (like in Picasa) to impose a manual display/sort order,
2.you could delete thumbnails and use paste and copy, but that would not remove/add physical files but only write to .sld slideshow file.

That feature would make preparing slideshows more visual and intuitive.

Cheers,
Kefir

There is "Remove" to remove from list.

Please explain "use paste and copy".

I mean preparing a slideshow not in a "Slide Show" window that pops-up when you press CTRL+L, but in the normal thumbnail view, especially modified for slideshows

Instead of viewing the folder content, you would view/add/remove files to/from a slideshow .sld file. For example, instead of using the up, dow bullons in "Slide Show" window, you could drag and drop, copy/paste/cut thumbnails to change their order in a slideshow.

That is just a different way of preparing a slideshow.

Hiya,

excellent proposal from Kefir some time ago! Helps a lot when you mix similar media from different sources. But probably quite demanding in terms of programming. Any scheduling in that respect already?
