Wallpaper & Win7 desktop slideshow

Post by whismerhill »

Hi,
I'm a happy user of xnview. back in the time I used ACDSee32 when it was nothing more than a single executable

the first feature which made my life so much more easier was setting up a wallpaper directly from viewing images
xnview did that beautifully, the options to resize & setup a wallpaper in a couple of clicks were wonderful ...

now Windows 7 is here and there's a "new" feature (not sure it was there with vista or not)
it's desktop slide-show and I love it.

However I feel like something is missing. it would be a feature so that it becomes very easy to add/replace the images for desktop slideshow

-ideally in a couple of clicks you could add pictures or whole folders on the fly
-or replace in the case of folders
-you could also have a button for direct access to the desktop slideshow folder for deleting single files...

just a suggestion though.
have a nice day.



PS: if it's not understandable enough I'm french...

You would like to be able to copy selected files to the desktop slideshow? How to enable it?

in fact I found a "workaround"

if you select a whole folder for the desktop slideshow in windows 7, then moving/copying any image file to that folder will automatically add them to the desktop slideshow queue (& immediately)
