Slideshow Text

[sark]

Hi All.

When creating a slideshow, is it possible to have file names included without the file extensions: ie: image name.jpg.

It's the jpg extension I would like to remove.

Many thanks

PS...Thanks for a Fantastic program. Wish I'd discovered it sooner.

Yes. In the "Show Text" field of the slideshow dialog, type "$N" — click on Help for more variables that you can use.
The colour and size of the text, and the colour of the background is found on the "Fullscreen Options" dialog.

Great. And thanks for the swift response, it's much appreciated.

slide show

where might one find this "show test" option in irfan view. when picasa isnt working I use irfanview, but this 'show test' does not exist in irfanview thumbnails. In fact, I would love to turn off the file name display during a slideshow as it seems pretty stupid to show pictures with the name of the file popping out at you. who cares about the name of the file during the slideshow?

Also, any idea how to get the full picture to appear on the screen. Irfanview wants to zoom in.

And any idea how to start a slideshow without actually having to select pictures? wouldnt it makes sense to just do a slideshow on the current directory?

This option isn't in Thumbnails view but in the slideshow window. There you'll find a checkbox to display or not the text.

This option enables you to also display EXIF data (date, exposure, ISO...), and so on. I find it very very very useful... in some cases. Perhaps one day you'll find it useful too?

Also, any idea how to get the full picture to appear on the screen. Irfanview wants to zoom in.

There is a radio button and options for that. Look in the slideshow window.

See my reply to MoStimpy (http://en.irfanview-forum.de/vb/showthread.php?t=1043).
I agree, but presently you get that at the cost of just one click on one button. Not too bad.
