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. --Bill. -- William R Ward bill@wards.net http://www.wards.net/~bill/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Consistency is not really a human trait. --Maude (from the film "Harold & Maude") === Date: 11 Dec 2002 22:03:12 -0800 From: Andrew Bertola <drew@drewb.com> To: svlug@lists.svlug.org Subject: Re: [svlug] Slide show program?
