I need the slideshow feature to automatically display all files in a certain directory. I can't be constantly updating a reference list. I just want to create a screen saver that will slideshow all the files, including any that have been updated or added since the slideshow started. The windows slideshow screen saver won't monitor a dir and won't actually display the image full screen. Plus it doesn't handle all the file formats I need. Will Irfanview accept an *.* in the reference file path or do I need to create a feature request for this?

No. Slideshows and Screensavers produced by Irfan View are portable, self-contained files that contain all of the images included in the Slideshow.
However, you can start IV in Slideshow mode with a command line switch:
/slideshow=folder
Create a new shortcut to Irfan View on your desktop, in the Start Menu, or on the Windows Taskbar and edit the Shortcut properties as follows:
"C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe" /slideshow=folder
Where "folder" is the full path to the folder of pictures you wish to display.
Maybe someone can improve on that for you.Before you post ... Edit your profile • IrfanView 4.67 • Windows 10 Home 19045.2486

That is the same as when paging through a directory with the viewer, and also the thumb viewer. I wonder if an automatic refresh could be added. Next stop, feature requests...Its: Belongs to "It"
It's: Shortened form of "It is"

I would expect it is much more work to adapt Irfanview to do the right thing getting such a notification message.
