I thought of inserting a SlideShow function into our Search Image File Utility. This will put it closer towards becoming an Electronic Album. Before doing this, some readers may want to see a basic example of a stand-alone Slide Show.

A Basic SlideShow

What this project does:
1. Auto-Populate Images from AMS images folder into the SlideShow.
2. Place the first Image immediately, so we don’t see a blank or black screen.
3. Auto Insert Slide Number & Total Slide Number in an FLAT INPUT BOX.
4. Clicking the Start Button will start the SlideShow. Auto is OFF.
5. As the SlideShow plays, the FLAT INPUT BOX shows the current Slide Number, dynamically.
6. Also, as the SlideShow plays, another Input Box shows the current Image Path, dynamically. Clicking OPEN button will run that Image in a user default image software.

I’ve inserted some control over the SlideShow. So, we know where we are, stop it wherever we want to,  return to previous slides or go to the next slides as we wish. And run it from there.

Anyways, we can have more advanced control such as Re-Arrange the Sequence of Images, Save that sequence for a Presentation, Delete Unwanted Images from the SlideShow as well as Navigate right to a Slide from a Number Input. And ….. I leave these extra functions entirely for your development pleasure.
