    Requested command line options request for slide show CDrom drive

    I tried to make a CD to autoplay vacation photo's.
    I wanted it to start as een autplay CD (using freeware autorunpro.exe)
    The idea was nice however it couldnt be done.
    As i can not be sure that other people's CD drive is D: or E: of F: etc..

    What would be nice is that an irfanview.exe file could be set at the root of a CDrom drive, then use relative folder locations.

    for example "./folder800x1024/*.jpg"
    And also to set a delay option for this auto play

    so with a few html url's it would be possible to launche a bat file on the CD
    with irfan view for viewing these photo's as i have devided between screen resolutions but could as wel be other folder topic diferences.

    Then in a HTML page one would write something like
    Html url one line "file:///summervacation.bat"
    Html url two "file:///winter vacation.bat"

    The bat files would look like

    irfanview.exe "./wintervacation" /10sec

    something like this, then one could create a automic playing photoview CD
    Together with autorun pro no matter wich drive letter people assign to their CD rom

    Read the IrfanView Help
    2. Method: Manual or special slideshow CD:

    2.1. Copy IrfanView files into the root CD folder. (You can also copy an INI file "i_view32.ini" with your settings.)

    2.2. Copy your images into the CD folder called e.g. "images".

    2.3. Create a TXT file (in slideshow dialog or using Notepad) with the names of the images. If your image files have names like "image1.jpg", "image2.jpg", etc. the TXT should look like this:

    .\images\image1.jpg

    .\images\image2.jpg

    etc.

    In each line is a file name with relative paths (relative to IrfanView, i_view32.exe).

    Save the TXT file e.g. as "slideshow.txt" in the CD root folder.

    2.4. Create the "autorun.inf" file (Notepad). Write in the file 2 lines:

    [AutoRun]

    open = i_view32.exe /slideshow=slideshow.txt

    Save "autorun.inf".

    2.5. Done. Burn the CD using your burning software.
    Its: Belongs to "It"
    It's: Shortened form of "It is"
