Users should add ideas and feature requests to this list.

If you have a feature request and you see it's already in the ToDo list add it any way, this way the developer(s) will know which features should be prioritized. Add your name and a link to your wiki-profile page to the request, that way it's easy for the developer(s) to contact you if something is unclear.

  • Change the syntax of slideshow file

    Change to a more standardized, more flexible and more human-readable syntax. I think XML would be a real good candidate for this purpose.

  • Parse the grammar of the input file at the beginning of the run. It is frustrating to wait twenty minutes to see the script fail because you have mistyped a semi-colon... Arek' Fu
  • Lay a picture over the slideshow Use cases:
    • Easier custom menu creation (overlay static menu part over slideshow video)
    • HUD so video can appear from inside race car, etc
    • Opaque watermark (as opposed to a translucent one that is blended with the picture)
  • Automatic time-per-picture based on mp3/ac3 song length (song length / number of pics)
  • Controlling the volume of a track

ToDo

  • Move the examples from /opt to /usr/share, that will be more appropriate.
