Starting SlideShow Automatically
You can run SlideShow automatically to allow you to set up a show that will start and run with the show and options you want. Automatically running shows require no user interaction and are therefore suitable for installations in displays and kiosks.
Shows can be run one time or run continuously. Slides can be shown in order or shown randomly. Slides can be individually timed or all have the same default timing. The show can start in the full screen mode with the controls hidden, or in the normal mode with the controls in view. The following options are available to start SlideShow automatically:
The Auto Start option, available from the main SlideShow screen, starts the current show automatically the next time SlideShow is started. The show will begin as soon as SlideShow is started and will exit when the show is complete if the 'show once' option is selected.
Starting from the Command Line
SlideShow can also be run from the command line allowing it to be started from batch scripts or other programs.
Show Instruction File
SlideShow can also be started from the command line with an instructions file specified. This instructions file overrides the current settings to run SlideShow with the options called out in the file. Show selection, show starting slide and show timing can all be specified in the show instruction file.
