GEEQIE VERSION

master

SUMMARY

Please add support for .fpl (file playlist). It will increase experience of my usage (scripting | slideshow | archive mode | etc.).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

describe your idea the best. .m3u for images

caclark commented 5 years ago

So far as I can see, .fpl is not an open format so it is unlikely to be handled by Geeqie.

Using an .m3u file to describe a slideshow is more likely. But I think it would be easier to create a plugin that simply parses the .m3u file and uses geeqie --remote commands to display the images at the specified intervals.

The attached files are an example of a basic slideshow using an .m3u type file: test-slideshow.tar.gz
