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.
