Subject: [svlug] Slide show program?


What's a good program for a slide show?  Ideally I'd like it to find
all JPG files under a particular directory, and show them one after
another as full-screen images, with a few seconds' interval in
between.  Not a web script, but a desktop X window program.

The best I've come up with is a Perl script I wrote that kicks off
"xv" repeatedly, but it doesn't work well.

In recent versions, gqview does this.  I'm running ver. 1.0.2.
