Hi, thanks for the feedback.
I already started work on the next version of December but at the moment I can't spend a lot of time on it.
I've already implemented half of the mechanism for a progress indicator. This will be shown while waiting for the grid view to load and when the photo is being scaled for full screen mode.
That's nice, looking forward to it.
I plan to implement a basic slideshow function. At first, it will just be full screen mode with forward/back and a timer. In the future I would like to support the DPOF standard. It has a slideshow function called "Autoplay". The idea for autoplay is that you choose the photos you like on your camera and then you can transfer the memory card to a projector and watch a slideshow without needing a computer.
If you have a camera that can create slideshows, a file will be created on your memory card at /MISC/AUTPLAYn.MRK. I don't know the format of this file; if your camera can create slideshows then please send me a copy of this file and I will try to support it.
I have two cameras, an older Kodak Easyshare and a Samsung PL170. I have studied their functions, but so far I have been unable to find a way to generate the AUTPLAYn.MRK file you mention on both cameras.
Kodak Easyshare:
I have seen that the DPOF standard has been patented by Kodak, but still my Easyshare camera seems to not be able to generate it;
this page seems to confirm that Easyshare cameras don't handle this type of file. The only files I could make were AUTPRINT.MRK (via the Printing function) and FAVORITE.MRK (via Favourites). The camera has a Slideshow function, but after starting it it doesn't generate any file, nor it has a function to choose which photos to show.
Samsung PL170:
It has a menu called DPOF, but it generates an AUTPRINT.MRK file only. It has a Slideshow function too, but it behaves like the one on the Kodak camera. Searching for "autoplay" in its PDF manual didn't produce any result.
I have also a Nikon D50 which supports DPOF, I'll try with it and I'll let you know the results.

Nice idea
