Looking for a slideshow viewer with a limit feature

[DrPain]

Hi all -
Figure this is the best forum for my question -- I'm looking for a slideshow viewer that has a feature where I could take a folder with a large number of .jpg files, and set a limit to the number of photos (on random) the slide show will show before stopping. i.e. I have 2,000 .jpgs in a folder, but want to only see 200 before the slideshow stops, and these should be chosen randomly.

I use IrfanView right now and it's great, but doesn't have this feature, I think.

To me, this is a great way to make quick tease, i.e. I only have until a certain number of photos have gone by to orgasm that day.

Appreciate any ideas!

I am not sure this answers your question directly
but in my search on the subject I found this site:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison ... ge_viewers
which seems to have a fairly good list of image viewers.

but actually and this may seem an Odd suggestion
but it would work
create a Flashtease with all 2000 pictures
with 200 pages
Now for each page you set random picture
the only down side of this is the time would not be random, but you didn't say you wanted random time also.
but it would work.
It would be a bit work but it would give you exactly what you want, of course you would have o share it with us.
but that might not be a bad thing.

It's not quite what you want, but you could get the desired effect with IrfanView + a countdown timer (e.g., http://www.online-stopwatch.com/).

That is, you could point IrfanView to the 2,000 files and set it to do a random slide show that shows each picture for 3 seconds. If you set a countdown timer for 200*3=600 seconds=10 minutes and start it at the same time you start your slideshow, it'll go off after 200 images have been shown.

As SexualChoc already suggested, create a tease. Instead of a FlashTease you might consider the offline TeaseMe found on http://www.milovana.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6993 to see your pictures on high resolution.

The source of the tease would be:

Code: Select all

<Tease scriptVersion="v0.1">   <MediaDirectory>MyPics</MediaDirectory>   <Pages>      <Page id="1"><Image id="*.jpg" /><Delay seconds="3" target="2" /></Page>      <Page id="2"><Image id="*.jpg" /><Delay seconds="3" target="3" /></Page>      ...      <Page id="200"><Image id="*.jpg" /></Page>   </Page></Tease> 

I hope a little promotion for our offline viewer doesn't mind
