(I tried directing it to ~/my-pictures but that did not take, so, placed *my-pictures* in /usr/share)

Does that folder contains not only pictures or lots of them?
If so, it takes some time for qiv to scan them all...

Now, how do I make one picture slowly fade down and the next picture slowly fade up?

Unfortunately it seems that qiv doesn't have such a feature...
There is also pqiv, but:

-F Make "pqiv" fade between images. Currently this does only work for images of equal size.

(Besides, the fading isn't "slow" at all

)
But if your collection contains pics, which have the same size, you can try it - just download and extract the .deb (i386) package from the above link, copy pqiv binary to SlideSaver directory and replace appropriate line in the script with, eg.:

Code: Select all

"$APPDIR/pqiv" -ifFsSnnt -d $INTERVAL "$PICDIR" & QIV_PID=$!

Anyway, you can always do a search for an image viewer with features you're looking for and if you succeed, just modify that single line appropriately, according to 'found_image_viewer --help' printout.
(in case of doubt, just let know in this thread).

No, nine test pictures, mixed .jpg and .png of various sizes.

Where/how to I search for an *image viewer*? Through Google? What keywords to use? Am I looking for an image viewer written in a specific language?

Thank you SFR.

I am determined to find a slideshow screensaver that functions similar to the GLslideshow feature in GNOME's Xscreensaver.
I don't care if the pictures *scale* to the screen size.
I don't care if they *enter* stage right or left.
This bit of coding you've sent would be perfect if I can just make it slowly fade from random pic to random pic.

Here's the first result of "best way to search" query:
http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-bes ... ternet.htm

Use keywords like: linux, slideshow, fullscreen, viewer, fade, transitions, list of image viewers for linux, etc. Whatever comes to your mind.
Also check your PPM and this forum.

Doesn't matter in which language really - what matters is if it will work for you well, and it has to be "launchable" from command line (to be able to call it from script and use its internal options).

BTW, see if this one meets your needs:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=23045
I gave it a shot, but the fade effect fails from time to time.

Description Removed "Online" mode, added gettext, refreshed the code

I just found and test your application.
As usual, it's excellent!

I took the opportunity to create a French translation.

Note: for the translation, I added three gettext tags missing. (<label> in lines 190 to 204).

Code: Select all

        <radiobutton>
          <variable>varSEC</variable>
          <label>'$(gettext "Seconds")'</label>
          <default>'${SEC}'</default>
        </radiobutton>
        <radiobutton>
          <variable>varMIN</variable>
          <label>'$(gettext "Minutes")'</label>
          <default>'${MIN}'</default>
        </radiobutton>
        <radiobutton>
          <variable>varHRS</variable>
          <label>'$(gettext "Hours")'</label>
          <default>'${HRS}'</default>

Thank you ASRI.
I corrected and reuploaded the pet (v1.7.1).
Your translation has been included.

Thanks again &

Hello, SFR.

I heard through the grapevine that a README_fr was needed for the RWC?
So here you go !

Note concernant XFCE

Avant de lancer RWC pour la 1ère fois, s.v.p. aller à "Paramètres du
bureau", choisir n'importe quel fond d'écran et définir un type
d'affichage autre que "Auto". À moins que vous ne l'ayez déjà fait...
__________________________________________________________________________

Note concernant ROX + Wbar-2.3.x

S.v.p. ne pas utiliser Wbar-2.3.x avec le style "Paver" dans
l'environnement ROX, car Wbar ne sera pas rafraîchi correctement.
Par contre, l'utilisation de Wbar-2.2.2 ne pose aucun problème.
__________________________________________________________________________

I suppose it's not too late in the year to wish you a Happy and Successful 2015 ?!

BFN.

P.S. Also, I think I saw a typo in the first line of the English: "dekstop" instead of "desktop", or something like that.

Posted: **Thu 15 Jan 2015, 18:23**

Thank you Musher0.
Yeah, I implemented the possibility to have multilanguage readmes between 1.7 and 1.7.1...and forgot to mention about it.

Typo corrected as well.
v1.7.2

All the best in new year for you, too.

Hello SFR,
A Francophone user suggested interesting changes.

Médor wrote:Il serait intéressant d'avoir directement un bouton Info intégré dans l'interface pour afficher le fichier README_"$LANG" ainsi que la traduction de Ramdom Wallpaper Changer en sous-titre (comme dans TAS).

So I would like to submit you a version 1.7.3

I have Tahrpup 6

I have downloaded RWC-1.7.3 and it changes the wallpaper just as I expect.

However when the screensaver timesout I still get the black screen. I thought RWC would kick in at that point.

Maybe I have misunderstood what it is supposed to do.

Hey Robin

RWC has nothing to do with screensaver/DPMS - it does control only desktop background.
Screen blanking is managed via Menu -> Desktop -> PupX -> Screensaver.

Btw, if you're intrested in a fullscreen random slideshow, which gets triggered after certain time of user's inactivity, check out SlideSaver.tar.gz on the previous page.
But in this case you also need to disable screen blanking on your own.

Greetings!

Thanks. I'll have a look at that.

I had got the impression that RWC was a more recent version of SlideSaver - probably because I came on things in the wrong order - via Google.

I tried to make this app as "foolproof" as possible, and hope it will work well for others too.

Works in latest Lupu + briefly tested in Slacko and Wary.

UPDATE 2012-05-06: v1.1 - few bugfixes
UPDATE 2012-05-06: v1.2 - better handling of special characters in filenames

Hi people and SFR.
I'm novice in Linux. All I managed to do is to install the .pet of the RWC.
But... how can I execute it? Did not find the file...
Could you help me please?

There should be a menu entry in menu Desktop.

In terminal just type: rwc-config
