I'm a heavy user of the random picture display mode for wall paper. I use a TV in the family room as a second monitor for picture display when not watching TV - one button push on the TV remote to change input channel form HDMI cable box to RGB for picture display. It works great and everybody loves it. So I'm trying to better understand what more I can do with it. I understand from previous posts that a newly added picture into the directory structure will be picked up automatically and that after stop/start the algorithm picks up where it left off. That is great! But how about the following:

- Is there a way for me to tell which specific pictures are tagged as already displayed and which are not? For example, if it is a flag/property on the file itself then what is it? Or if it is a dedicated index, is there a way to access it to see what was displayed? Or is it something else - like what?

- Is there a way for me to tell what % of the pictures was already displayed or some other measure of that?

- How can I reset the mode so that all pictures start displaying again as if none were displayed so far?

Thanks!

There's no way to check what percentage of the pictures have been displayed.

If you want to see which pictures have been displayed already, they are listed in the %APPDATA%\DisplayFusion\WallpaperHistory.txt file.

To reset the list and have it start over again, just delete that text file :)

Thanks!

Keith,

Nice approach with this WallpaperHistory.txt file, I like it, simple but effective. But this prompts few other questions:

- Please confirm that I can add/delete lines from/to the file and that DisplayFusion will respect these changes

- How exactly does DisplayFusion know that it handled all of the available pictures and therefore to start over with a clean file? What if I keep adding new pictures into the directory structure? I did a quick test with three pictures only and I see that after all three were displayed the file does indeed get cleared out.

Thanks!

You can add/delete lines from the file and DisplayFusion will respect it.

It will clear out automatically when it matches all of the files in the directory selected for random images. So, if you just keep adding images, it will never clear out :)
