I don't know whether file size is relevant - how big are your images? The only other thing I can think of is are you certain you have permissions for the directory that they are stored in? I developed the screensavers using gimp under RH-7.2 and have used them under several distros. The main directory /screensavers is owned by root and group users. The files are owned by me and group users and yes I am a member of group users. I know slideshow works fine it was the program I developed the screensavers for, but it dosent work under mandrake except for some people. One told me that it worked fine for him and then went and checked what screensavers he had and found that his listing in the control center was 4 and slideshow wasnt one of them but it still worked. I'm sorry to be contrary but it dosent work for me and I cant figure out why. Regards; Hoyt
