Dias-Show

The Dias-show is started by pressing the "Play"-button .

Hereby the image shown above is displayed.

When the dias-show is running there will be a Stop-button on the MainForm instead of the Play-button. Also at Textbox showing the count-down for next image-selection will be displayed:

It will be possible to work with CoverSetup in almost unlimited fashion while running a dias-show. Only the drive- and folderlists are disabled. Hence you will not be able to change folders while running a dias-show.

No limitations on adding images to the "Chosen One's"-lists while running a dias-show is met. Selecting (clicking on) a file in the FrontCover's filelist, while running a dias-show on this file-list, will only lead to having the dias-show continuing from this "new place".

Also, there are no limitations on working with the Toolbox while running a dias-show. You should be aware though, that when exiting the Toolbox, the file-lists on the mainform are updated - and if selections in the Toolbox yields no files-in the FrontCover's filelist while running a dias-show on this list, will mean that the dias-show will be stopped.

SETTING TIMER
The time CoverSetup should wait before selecting a new image, when running a dias-show, is set in the list at the top left-side of the Start-dias-show window (shown above).

CoverSetup remembers the timer-settings until running the dias-show next time.

Run dias-show on the FrontCovers File-list
By pressing the top-most text-line (hyperlink) the dias-show is started on the file-lists directly - precisely as clicking the lines manually.

Remark: If not at least one of the images are activated on the Mainform - in the check-boxes in the upper-left corner of each image - this link will be "ghosted", i.e. grey. And will therefore not be selectable.

Run dias-show on the FrontCovers "Chosen Ones" list
By pressing the middle text-line (hyperlink) the dias-show is started on the FrontCovers, using the images selected in the FrontCover-section's "Chosen Ones"-list.

Remark: If the FrontCover's image is not activated on the Mainform - in the check-box in the upper-left corner of the image - this link will be "ghosted", i.e. grey. And will therefore not be selectable.

Run dias-show on the BackCovers "Chosen Ones" list
Works as last-mentioned, only this feature runs on the "Chosen Ones" for the BackCovers.

Here the BackCover's image should be activated before being able to select this link, though.
