57 <h1>8.1 Slide Show</h1>
59 <p>The image pane can be set to automatically change the displayed image after a period of time, in Geeqie this is referred to as a slide show.</p>
65 <p><u>Starting a slide show</u>
68 <p>A slide show can be started in a number of ways:</p>
72 <p>From the menu bar - open the <b>View</b> menu and select <b>Toggle slide show</b> to toggle the slide show on or off .</p>
76 <p class="gq-slideshow-5">From the keyboard - press the <b>S</b> key to toggle the slide show on or off.</p>
80 <p class="gq-slideshow-5">From a context menu - right click an image pane, and select <b>Start slide show</b>, or <b>Stop slide show</b>; the text will change depending on the state of the current slide show.</p>
88 <p><u>Stopping a slide show</u>
91 <p>An active slide show can be stopped by using the same functions available to start one, as they work like a toggle switch. If slide show repeat is not enabled in the <a href="10_1_general.html">options dialog</a>, the slide show will stop when the last image in the sequence is displayed.</p>
93 <p>Any action that changes the image pane to a new image will stop the active slide show, with the exception of the methods discussed in <a href="#navigation">Slide show sequence navigation</a>.</p>
99 <p><u>Slide show status</u>
102 <p>The main window <a href="2_7_status_bar.html">status bar</a> can be used to determine when a slide show is active, <b>Slide show</b> will be displayed next to the file count field. An individual <a href="3_1_image_window.html">Image Window</a> can also display a slide show, however the status will not be immediately visible. To determine the slide show status in an image window, open a context menu by right clicking or using the menu key, the slide show menu item will reflect the slide show status; if <b>Start slide show</b> is displayed, no slide show is active, conversely if <b>Stop slide show</b> is displayed a slide show is active.</p>
104 <p>When a Slide show is paused, the main window status bar will display <b>Paused</b> instead of <b>Slide show</b>. Likewise, the image context menu will display <b>Pause slide show</b> or <b>Continue slide show</b>, depending on the current state.</p>
110 <p><u>Pausing a slide show</u>
113 <p>An active slide show can be paused in two ways:</p>
117 <p>From the keyboard - press the <b>P</b> key while a slide show is active.</p>
121 <p>From a context menu - right click the image pane displaying the slide show, and select <b>Pause slide show</b>, or <b>Continue slide show</b> depending on the current slide show state.</p>
129 <p class="gq-slideshow-5"><u>Selecting the images to include in a slide show</u>
132 <p class="gq-slideshow-5">When a single image is selected, all images in the current folder are included in the slide show. The sequence will begin with the current image; however if random slide shows are enabled, the sequence will begin with a random image from the list.</p>
134 <p class="gq-slideshow-5">To only include some images in a slide show, use multiple selection to select the images to include before starting the slide show.</p>
136 <p class="gq-slideshow-5">An image collection can be used as the list of images, to do this drag an image from a collection window onto the image pane. Starting a slide show will then include the images from that collection.</p>
138 <p>So far, the methods described are for slide shows in a main window, in an <a href="3_1_image_window.html">Image Window</a>, the slide show will use all images referenced by that window.</p>
144 <p class="gq-slideshow-5"><u>Recursive slide show</u>
147 <p class="gq-slideshow-5">In the main window, a recursive slide show can be started from a folder's context menu; the folder's right click menu will include two slide show options:</p>
151 <p class="gq-slideshow-5">Slide show: This will start a slide show that includes all images in the selected folder.</p>
155 <p class="gq-slideshow-5">Slide show recursive: The slide show will include all images in the selected folder, and all images in the folders that are contained within the selected folder.</p>
163 <p><a name="navigation" id="navigation"></a><u>Slide show sequence navigation</u>
166 <p class="gq-slideshow-5">When a slide show is active, functions that normally change the image forward and backward can be used to step through those contained in the slide show.</p>
172 <p class="gq-slideshow-5"><u>Configuring a slide show</u>
175 <p>The options that control the behavior of slide shows are located on the <a href="10_1_general.html">General tab</a> of the options dialog.</p>
177 <p class="gq-slideshow-7"><b>Display time</b>: The delay between each image in the slide show can be adjusted with the <span class="gq-slideshow-6"><b>Delay before image change</b> option.</span></p>
179 <p class="gq-slideshow-8"><b>Repeat</b>: This will cause the slide show to loop indefinitely, it will continue with the first image after displaying the last image in the slide show list.</p>
181 <p class="gq-slideshow-9"><span class="gq-slideshow-6"><b>Random</b>: This will display images randomly selected from the slide show list. Each image from the slide show list will be displayed once.</span> When Repeat is also enabled, the random sequence is changed after each complete cycle of the images.</p>
