Slide Show

[Mick Sulley]

Is there any way to display a slide show in random order?  I have a
large number of family pictures and I want to set up a slide show to run
on the TV for a party, and it would be much better if they were in
random rather than date order.

Thanks
Mick

Hi Mick!

You can use the Advanced Slideshow function. Click on the Slideshow button and select Advanced Slideshow in the dropdown menu, or press Alt+Shift+F9. From here you can choose random order, transition effect and others.

Note that any filters applied won't have any effect here. I.e. it is not only the pictures currently showing that will be included in the slideshow, instead all pictures in the shown album will be included (which is not the same behavior as when selecting the usual slideshow). You need to create an advanced search and select Advanced Slideshow from there in order to apply filter on what you want to show.

Anders

Hi Anders,

I can't see the options you talk about.  The 'Slideshow' button has 3 options, 'All', 'Selection' and 'With All Sub-Albums' there is no 'Advanced' option, also the menu 'View' > 'Slideshow' has those same options.

I have created an Advanced Search to get the pictures I want, but there are no view options in there that I can see.

Am I missing something here?  I am running DK 4.1.0

Thanks
Mick

Hi!

My Slideshow buttons has four options, the ones you have but also "Advanced Slideshow...".

The Advanced Slideshow seems to be a Kipi Plug-in though. It is present in my list of activated Kipi plugins in the "Configure -digiKam" dialouge. I think I have had these activated out of the box since digiKam was installed, at least I cannot remember I did something special to activate them. I run digiKam both in Ubuntu and Windows 7.

Hopes this helps, it might be as easy as activate them!

Regards

Anders
