slide show reading URL's

[Martin]

Thank You for the great job in developping and maintaining xnview. I like it very much. I appreciate it, that just mentioning an idea for some new feature often concludes in a new version of xnview including this new feature.

Currently I'm using xnview as slide-show presentation program, started from *.sld files. I'm planning to transfer those *.sld files to my (local) webserver, so that those slide shows are available for the whole family in our HAN (home area network). I already added a MIME-type to my apache-config, and xnview slide show is started by just clicking a *.sld-file in a browser.

What I would like very much is the possibility to include URL's not just FileNames into the *.sld file. This will result in better directory-structures served by the apache without the need to establish FileShares. I would be really nice to allow following mixed filename syntax

== snip ==
FontBold = 0
FontItalic = 0
FontHeight = -13
TextColor = ffffff
TextPosition = 0
Effect = 1
"http://han-server/Ladenburg.jpg"

instead of having to use

"\\han-server\imgshare\Ladenburg.jpg"

Yes, a good feature
