Hi!
At first: My English isn't very well ;-)

I programmed a little thing.
A slideshow which is metronomebased. I got the idea by the "CAM-PLUS" (i think that was the name!?) - software from this website.

Try it and give some feedback, please.

This is only the programm! You need some pictures to use it!
It would be very nice, if you can upload and share an image-pack fo using my software :-)


A little readme.txt is included.

couldn't get it to work :-(

Kept getting the message "pictures not found".

And yes, I did follow the readme, so changed all the image names to numbers (e.g. 100, 101. 102). Still didn't work.

Lastly, checked the .NET framework, and even downloaded latest (version 4) and installed just to be sure, still didn't work.

Looked promising... not sure what the problem might be (I'm using Windows 7)

the numbers of the pictures have to start with 1.jpg then 2.jpg then 3.jpg....don't start with 100.jpg and then 101.jpg....!!

Then count your pictures and tell the programm how many pictures you use!

When you type in the prog "200" the programm uses a random number between 1 and 200 for the filename. like 150.jpg - and then the picture have to be there. otherwise it doesen't work ;-)

I would test it but I have no desire to rename all my pictures. My gallery contains about 5000+ pics. renaming them would be just to annoying. Could you change the implementation of the pics?

Ah, now it works! :) Nice and simple, works pretty good. I do agree with Vinc tho - renaming files can be a bit of a pain, so if you plan on making improved versions, that's one feature that would make it easier to use. :yes:

I know the problem with the names. But in that point I have some troubles with the code. This was the easiest way I found:

- copy your pictures in one folder with the programm
- use "advanced renamer" to batch-rename your pictures

So you have our collection saved and another folder with the pictures from 1.jpg to ...

A simple improvement would be to have it create an array of filenames in a selected folder. Then you don't need to know how many pictures there are, and you don't have to rename them. Just have the user select the folder containing the pictures.
