Re: Remember JpegView?
Hi everyone I do remember Jpegview, a top program but I think the screen effects in OSX are great. Im hoping someone can tell me if it is possible to use this system to make my own screen saver with my own pics then have the screen effects play it? I see that there is a folder with desktop pictures as well as one with 'name.slidesaver'! Can I make a slidesaver? kind regards chris On Thursday, June 5, 2003, at 08:18 AM, Peter Hinchliffe wrote: On Wednesday, June 4, 2003, at 10:30 AM, Rob Phillips wrote: One of my all time favorites was a little image viewing app JpegView.

This little tid bit from Versiontracker: best part is, all you need to do to make a screen saver in 10.1 or later is put a bunch of pictures in a directory and add .slideSaver to the directory name! Just whack the folder in ~/Library/Screen Savers (~ is your Home folder), and then go into System Prefs -- Screen Effects. You should see you pictures hiding in there! Have a look at this app: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16130 Alternatively, a combination of iPhoto2 and a .mac account will create a screensaver (that is also available to others).

One of my all time favorites was a little image viewing app JpegView. One of its greatest strengths was its ability to do slide shows. You could point it at a folder with hundreds of images (importantly folder with sub folders) and it would display them to you, randomly too. I havent been able to find anything similar under OSX. There was JPEGDeux which lacks the slide show feature. I had another slide show app which just barfed if you had more than 50 or so pictures. Anyone find a *useful* slideshow app under X?

http://www.muchosoft.com/ MuchoViewer - this is a great litttle DonationWare app, i thoroughly recommend it. I haven't tried *hundreds* of images, but it does all you ask otherwise Greg On Wednesday, June 4, 2003, at 10:30 AM, Rob Phillips wrote: One of my all time favorites was a little image viewing app JpegView.

(Oh and iPhoto doesn't count, I much prefer my images not to be copied to the iPhoto library). Unless I'm hallucinating really badly this time, JPEGDeux does have a slideshow feature -- that's what all the stuff under the Slideshow menu is about. It even supports slide transitions and precaching of images (which is nice if you have a fair bit of RAM). I haven't had any trouble using v1.7b with a few dozen images, though I haven't tried hundreds. And it does have a Recursively scan subdirectories option. What it does leave out is the ability to just open images, independently of a slideshow. It's interface isn't as nice as the simple one that JPEGView had, but it works fairly well. And maybe the more recent versions have been improved a bit. -Ry
