[Disclaimer: Not HP related, but this is the only general PC/MS-Windows
group which I subscribe to.]
I'm looking for a free/no_cost program for MS-Windows (Vista) which
can display a slideshow (of JPEGs) in a *window*, i.e. *not* fullscreen.
I have several photo/picture related programs, but they all display
the slideshow fullscreen. I want to see the slideshow in a window while
I do other stuff in other windows.
I have IrfanView [1] which has a "Slideshow..." setting "Play in
Window mode, window size XXX x YYY pixels", but that does not display
the slideshow in a window, but just in a section in the center of the
display/screen, i.e. it is not a moveable window.
I searched on a few download sites such as Tucows, but none of the
entries specifically say that they can display a slideshow in a window
and there are so many of them that trying them out is
impractical/impossible, hence this posting.
Please feel free to (crosspost and) set followups to a more
appropriate group, preferably a (active) Big Eight group (i.e.
comp.<whatever>), or a alt.* group if no such Big Eight group exists.
(If you *really* dislike me/this_posting, feel free to set followups to
some microsoft.* group! :-))
Thanks in advance for any and all responses.
