Make Show from Directory
This screen (accessed from the File->New menu) lets you make a show quickly of any collection of files on your computer. The make show utility creates a show with each file listed in a single slide. The utility does not copy the files -- it creates a reference to the files in the slide. The files themselves can be changed or modified after the show is created. The show will be automatically updated as long as the file name stays the same.
You can make a new show from any directory containing files that are viewable in the web browser, including images (JPEGs, GIFs), web pages (HTML), text files and any other file formats that are supported by the browser. The target directory can contain a mix of these files.
After selecting the directory a slide is made containing a reference to each of the files. Accompanying sound file and pause time can be specified for each slide after the show is generated.
Note: To make a show from files or web pages from different directories create a new file (File->New->New Show) which opens the Show Editor
