Slideshow does not suppress Screensaver and Powermanagement

[histery]

Hi,

when using the Slide Show the screen saver and the power management is still activated, which causes my Screen to turn off after a while.
In several other applications there is a function, such us "suppress screen saver while playing" unfortunately I can't find it in XnView.

How to get around this issue without disabling the Screensaver manually every time before starting a slide show?
Is there any option I missed or is this feature not available yet?

thanks for your advise

Slideshow from xnview or EXE slideshow? Strange, i desactive it

[histery]

Hi,

well i open Xnview, 1.96 running on Windows Vista, then I mark several Pics then click on "Slide show" in the menu bar and click on "Go" (only option i change is view on 2nd extended Monitor)

And then after a while without touching keyboard and mouse the display turns off.
So i think it is either the screen saver or the powermanagement which turns off the screen.

Never the less, i would like Xnview to supress it.

I would send you some screenshots of the vista power management settings and sreen saver settings and xnview settings i have.
So you will be able to check on the same settings...

You have problem with screensaver?? On which system?

[nivlek]

On my system, running Vista Home Premium, if I set the Power Option to turn off the display after 1 minute, start a Slide show which transitions automatically after 5 seconds, then after 1 minute and apporximatley 12 slides, due to no keyboard activity, the screens (I have dual monitors) go blank.

This is not a problem for me, as my 'turn off display' setting is normally 20 minutes, and I usually use the mouse or keyboard to advance slides, which would reset the display off counter each time in any case.

As for a screen saver, running the same slideshow does prevent the screensaver from activating, so works as expected on my pc.

It would be great to have this as a built-in option in XnView.

Perhaps this is of help?
