slideshow program

delos · 06-23-2004, 03:55 PM

i have images categorized into folders and i have many-many folders. some of them only contain 1-2 images. sometimes i need to show a slideshow of these images. i need to show them all together in a row - select multiple folders and show all the images in them. unfortunately all the linux programs i know (i have tried 9 so far) can only produce a slideshow of 1 certain folder.
is there a program that meets my needs?

when i just go through pictures i took with my dcam, i use thumb

when i read online comics (they put in jpeg format) i use comicviewer (its window program, but i ported through wine)

hope that helps...

i tried gthumb (should be similar to thumb) and i did not find an option for viewing multiple folders or subfolders in slideshow

you mean you wanna be able to view --all-- the pictures in multiple folders (or subfolders) by just keep clicking the "next" button?

.... i know comicviewer can do it, let me try mess with gthrumb tonight, see if i can get it work...

yup, thats it - slideshow of images in multiple folders.
can it be done? by any linux program?

you might be able to make a $BASH shell script using awk/gawk to do this

Code:

man awk
