Hello!

I know it's not more than an eye-candy, but still could be nice: slideshow.

General:
A plugin displaying slideshow of images on user's harddisk.

Features:
- Can read JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WMF, TIF, thumbnails embedded in camera RAW files
- Image is generally displayed with 'fit to heigth' on horizontal toolbar and 'fit to width' on vertical toolbar.
- When displaying, dimensions ratio is ALWAYS preserved.
- Images with corresponding dimension (width/heigth) smaller than toolbar can be optionally stretched to fit.
- EXIF rotate flag support
- On mouse over, preview image fitting a defined dimesions is displayed (fe. user can define 640x480 and image is displayed resized to this dimensions, smaller images optionally stretched)
- On LMB/MMB on image on toolbar or preview, next/previous image is displayed
- On mouse doubleclick on image on toolbar or preview, Explorer with displayed image selected is displayed
- Uses some good resize algorithm, so images displayed on toolbar and preview look nice Smile

Defining file sequence for slideshow :
User can select a number of directories. Every directory can be set to include its subfolders (so that images in all subfolders are to be displayed) and can be deactivated (so that it doesn't take part in slideshow).
Also nice: enable to create groups of directories and add ability to activate just some groups.

Options:
- transition time in seconds can be defined
- image order can be defined: sequential, random, random with memory (images do not repeat before all images are shown; changes in directories list should not affect this feature). Image sequence is remebered across TLB sessions, so that slideshow picks up where it left after TLB restart.
- option to reset this memory

Other:
- some effect for changing pictures would be nice, like crossfading.
- errors (corrupt/missing image etc.) are handled silently- no message to user

X.
