Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.1) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux ACDSee style recursive slideshow of all images in a dir tree would be great.
please see: http://www.lemkesoft.de/en/gcabout_slideshow.htm Grafic converter is a (widely used) Mac shareware for converting and displaying various gfx formats. I use it on Mac OS 9. It has very nice recursive slideshow options, wich I miss in all KDE gfx viewers. Some of the features: - Display complete folders (recursive) with or without effects - Renaming files - Moving files to predefined folders; for sorting images - Deleting files - Creating alias files - access to the above function with shortcuts or by mouse with tool icons
yes - would be great to travel through subfolders

Slideshow Status -- Welcome back after 2 years. There are no subfolder-slideshows in KDE, it seems. Except the screensaver. But for so many presentations it would be great to just give some folders oder a folder with many subfolders and get all pictures displayed. See a comparison list on http://en.linuxreviews.org/Image-viewers -- feh ( http://linuxbrit.co.uk/feh/wiki/FehFeatures) seems to offer recursive slideshows, it is a command line viewer. "It is great for recursive slide shows: The command "feh -zZFr -D 2 pictures/" will display randomly (z), in fullscreen (F), recursive (r) and zoomed to screen size (Z) the pictures in the folder pictures/ with a delay of 2 sec. It does lack some basic features like sorting by full pathname in recursive mode." The FEH wiki, link above, says: "Recursive file opening. Open every file in a directory structure? Sure, just feh -r directory. It'll ignore files it can't recognise as images. Also, in slideshow mode, feh only keeps one image in memory at a time, so you can happily do "feh -r /" and be sure not to bring your box to its knees." Worth looking into. -- gnome prog. Gqview seems to offer recursive shows. I tried to lobby for rec slides in Gwenview, a great tool, but without success. I just hope that these evolving imaging programms (digicam, gwenview, krita etc.) will fill that slideshow gap in the near future.
I assure you, there will be a much improved slideshow (including subfolders) at least in KDE4.
Component needs to be changed to gwenview, still this wish is valid even in 2012. (Just a "me too" comment) My use case: after working out in a field, I sort my pics per folders ("outcrop A1", "outcrop A2" etc.) to not lose the track of what's visible there. Works nice unless I want to show all my fieldwork session to somebody as I have like 20 folders with ~10 pics in each. Selecting each folder to show it's pics sucks a bit. Configuration option "recourse into subfolders" would be the best option :)
