SlideShow [v1.7]

[jupe]

I can see from the screenshot 1 issue, not sure if it is the only one though since I haven't looked at the script, but XY now requires the filter to have spaces around the | sep.

Wow, nice eye, thanks a lot Jupe!

Indeed, the "items don't match" bug can easily be fixed by changing this line:

Code: Select all

$ImgExt = "*.jpg|*.jpeg|*.png|*.gif|*.bmp"; 

into this one:

Code: Select all

$ImgExt = "*.jpg | *.jpeg | *.png | *.gif | *.bmp";

And my bad: I am still using XYplorer v24.40 (still, with "strict" syntax ON), and I didn’t think it could have been broken in a later release… Yet it is, in 24.60 also.
To be honest, it’s very rare that (non-beta) updates break old scripts.

I could post a quick update, but I’d rather delve deeper/longer and see how things evolve on this "filter" front.
I’ll keep you updated.

Hi Guys,

Thank you so much for helping me with this. Changing this line

Code: Select all

$ImgExt = "*.jpg | *.jpeg | *.png | *.gif | *.bmp";

and uncommenting out this line since I had to comment it out before to make it work

Code: Select all

filter $ImgExt;

worked out great. There is no more No Valid Images to show error.

Also thanks FluxTorpedoe adding this line

Code: Select all

$Part_Timer = ($Part_Timer < 1)? 1 : $Part_Timer;

was exactly what I was looking for. Now I can put in 0.001 or even 0.0001 to make the slide show run as fast as possible creating an Image Sequence player.

You guys are awesome and so is XYplorer. Best file managing software I ever used. I thought total commander was pretty good but it had it's limitation. This software does everything I need and then some.

Thanks,
Jason

Hi,

• #1

I got this message This view is empty. 151 items don't match the current filter.

I can’t replicate this one…
What is the extension of your image files, is it really "png"?

• #2

how hard would it be to make the image play back as fast as possible.

That’s possible indeed!
(Of course the real speed will depend on the size of your images / previews already generated or not)

Find the following line at the end of the script (around line ~166)

Code: Select all

$Part_Timer = ($STG_Timer / 50); // Smaller loop to facilitate Esc detection

And add this line after it:

Code: Select all

$Part_Timer = ($Part_Timer < 1)? 1 : $Part_Timer;

———————————————————————————

When this is settled, I’ll post a update with this speed fix, and another minor fix.
Tell me how things go.

Hi FluxTorpedoe,

Just curious when the SlideShow / Image Sequencer is running do you need to have it visually show it switching between the images. Just wondering if that could be shut off, would it help even more with playback performance.

Thanks,
Jason

Hi FluxTorpedoe,

Also is it possible to add an option to get the slideshow to run in the preview pane not a floating window or full screen.

Thanks,
Jason

Glad it’s working for you!

I fear I don’t know what you’re refering to with "visually show it switching between the images".
Here in fullscreen, there’s no indicator at all, except the fact that the images change. Maybe you have the status visible (toggle with "S")?
Or are you talking in Window mode where, in the list view behind the preview, we see the selection moving from one file to the next? (but that’s unavoidable)

Nice idea…
OK, I’ve implemented it!
A little more tricky than I thought, so I’m still checking/debugging.
