<H1>8.1 Slide Show</H1>
<P>The image pane can be set to automatically change the displayed
image after a period of time, in GQview this is referred to as a
slide show.</P>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P><U>Starting a slide show</U></P>
<P>A slide show can be started in a number of ways:</P>
<UL>
	<LI><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>
	<LI><P STYLE="font-weight: medium">From the keyboard - press the <B>S</B>
	key to toggle the slide show on or off.</P>
	<LI><P STYLE="font-weight: medium">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>
</UL>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P><U>Stopping a slide show</U></P>
<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>
<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>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P><U>Slide show status</U></P>
<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>
<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>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P><U>Pausing a slide show</U></P>
<P>An active slide show can be paused in two ways:</P>
<UL>
	<LI><P>From the keyboard - press the <B>P</B> key while a slide show
	is active.</P>
	<LI><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>
</UL>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P STYLE="font-weight: medium"><U>Selecting the images to include in
a slide show</U></P>
<P STYLE="font-weight: medium">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>
<P STYLE="font-weight: medium">To only include some images in a slide
show, use multiple selection to select the images to include before
starting the slide show.</P>
<P STYLE="font-weight: medium">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>
<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>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P STYLE="font-weight: medium"><U>Recursive slide show</U></P>
<P STYLE="font-weight: medium">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>
<UL>
	<LI><P STYLE="font-weight: medium">Slide show: This will start a
	slide show that includes all images in the selected folder.</P>
	<LI><P STYLE="font-weight: medium">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>
</UL>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P><A NAME="navigation"></A><U>Slide show sequence navigation</U></P>
<P STYLE="font-weight: medium">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>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P STYLE="font-weight: medium"><U>Configuring a slide show</U></P>
<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>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; font-weight: medium"><B>Display time</B>:
The delay between each image in the slide show can be adjusted with
the <SPAN STYLE="text-decoration: none"><B>Delay before image change</B>
option.</SPAN></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in; font-weight: medium; text-decoration: none">
<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>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 0.79in"><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration: none"><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>
