Number of images shown in Home Assistant only changes after manual intervention #264

I noticed that after adding image files to the Pictures folders on my Frame Pi, the number shown in Home Assistant only changes after I briefly change the folder selection in HA. Is this normal?

Hi Wolfgang, sorry for the late response. I was on vacation to get a new images for my picframe.

I guess the problem is a design weakness in picframe. Image metadata (like location, ...) and config info are published in a single mqtt message on image change. So would expect that just clicking next image would also refresh the number of selected images. That is also the reason while changing the brightness results in showing the next image.

I'm thinking about to split image meta data and config/control data in different messages. But this would also affect the home assistant integration (in minimum deleting picframe in home assistant and wait for a new discovery).

That's why we love picture frames! :-)

This has been fixed with the latest release, hasn't it?
