If we're able to implement the independent folder/contents sorting in a future version we'll definitely let you know! ]]> RE: external programs as screensavers https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/external-programs-as-screensavers/?ID=ed35da09-15b8-412e-9956-0881bec875ed#9 Mon, 14 Aug 2017 15:58:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/external-programs-as-screensavers/?ID=ed35da09-15b8-412e-9956-0881bec875ed#9 DisplayFusion still referring to the photos screen saver. ]]> RE: external programs as screensavers https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/external-programs-as-screensavers/?ID=ed35da09-15b8-412e-9956-0881bec875ed#8 Mon, 14 Aug 2017 15:46:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/external-programs-as-screensavers/?ID=ed35da09-15b8-412e-9956-0881bec875ed#8 DisplayFusion Are you referring to the Photos screen saver still, or the desktop wallpaper? ]]> RE: external programs as screensavers https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/external-programs-as-screensavers/?ID=ed35da09-15b8-412e-9956-0881bec875ed#7 Sun, 13 Aug 2017 18:28:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/external-programs-as-screensavers/?ID=ed35da09-15b8-412e-9956-0881bec875ed#7 DisplayFusion

Thanks for teh quick reply. Yes, selecting folders (and their sub-folders) alphabetically and photos by date sounds great.

While I'm sending a wish list, how about displaying captions from the metadata? :)


Just discovered I can specify a list of folders in DF. If those folders could be selected in random order (instead of their current restart at the beginning of the folder list) with their content in date order, that would be great. Would save you having to search the entire drive for folders. ]]> RE: external programs as screensavers https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/external-programs-as-screensavers/?ID=ed35da09-15b8-412e-9956-0881bec875ed#6 Fri, 05 May 2017 18:46:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/external-programs-as-screensavers/?ID=ed35da09-15b8-412e-9956-0881bec875ed#6 DisplayFusion Glad to hear it, thanks for the kind words! Unfortunately some screen savers can't be terminated via mouse movement because we can't hook mouse movement from the screen saver. Mouse click and keyboard keys should always work though. ]]> RE: external programs as screensavers https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/external-programs-as-screensavers/?ID=ed35da09-15b8-412e-9956-0881bec875ed#5 Thu, 04 May 2017 12:07:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/external-programs-as-screensavers/?ID=ed35da09-15b8-412e-9956-0881bec875ed#5 DisplayFusion Also want to say that DF saves me a LOT of time, especially the tiny icon that moves a window to the other screen. LOVE it.

One question: can terminating screensaver operation be done with cursor keys and mouse MOVEMENT (no-click) as well as the space bar? ]]> RE: external programs as screensavers https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/external-programs-as-screensavers/?ID=ed35da09-15b8-412e-9956-0881bec875ed#4 Wed, 03 May 2017 18:56:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/external-programs-as-screensavers/?ID=ed35da09-15b8-412e-9956-0881bec875ed#4 DisplayFusion Added both to our feature request list :)

To clarify, you want it to move through the folders alphabetically, and go through each image in the folder by date before moving on to the next folder? ]]> external programs as screensavers https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/external-programs-as-screensavers/?ID=ed35da09-15b8-412e-9956-0881bec875ed Sun, 30 Apr 2017 19:00:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/external-programs-as-screensavers/?ID=ed35da09-15b8-412e-9956-0881bec875ed DisplayFusion I use a program called jAlbum to display slideshows on my website. It has lots of options for which images get displayed and what folders they come from.

Is there a way to have displayfusion launch jAlbum and so it can display my images as my screensaver? I currently use the screensaver mechanism to display form my very large collection, but they can't be displayed in the order I desire (by date within folder). Random selection of sub-folder within main photo-folder is OK. ]]>
