Product Description:

This is a simple screensaver that reads the iPhoto database (XML files). It allows the iPhoto pictures to be displayed as a screensaver much like the built in one with more options. The built in screensaver from Apple automatically scales small images to fill the screen, which can look pretty bad with small images. This saver provides some unique options that the Apple one does not.

  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel

Simple Slide Show ReviewWorks but is limited - Version: 1.2, 6/15/2007 05:24PM PST

Does what it says. Note that it does not perform the "Pan and Zoom", "Ken Burns Effect", "Screen Effects", or whatever you want to call it thing. I would really like to have a slideshow screensaver module that would have the following:

- Choose any image folder on my system (Apple's can do it but it's buggy). I don't like being restricted to iPhoto groups becaue I don't use iPhoto.
- Pan & Zoom like Apple's.
- Be able to set the min/max zoom level as a percentage of image size (on large images Apple's module sometimes zooms in to a ridiculous level).
- Choose whether to zoom in only, out only, or either at random.
- Set image change interval.
- Set zoom & pan min/max speeds.
- Have the ability to pause, skip back, or skip forward without waking the computer.

If someone were to offer such a program I would gladly pay $20 for it.
