Re: Information Overlay on Collage causes app to freeze

There is no fixed limit, it depends on font size and pictures size. You could make the text smaller but then it will be difficult to read

Re: Wallpaper Slideshow Pro doesn't work

I have since some days black screens and no slide show. But when I look at the bitmap, I can see that there should be pictures shown and also changed regulary. Any idea what the reason could be? Usually this happens when windows fails to change wallpaper, a computer restart usually fixes the issue

Re: GPSPro Preventing Sleep

There are no traces from the plugin in the log. It seems the plugin was not enabled or the timeout was not reached. Since this plugin never had problems there are traces only when it triggers standby/monitor off. Are 100% sure the plugin is enabled and configured with 1 hour timeout ? Try with short...

Re: GPSPro Preventing Sleep

If the plugin is enabled and configured it should work. Of course it will go to standby only when gPhotoShow is running and at least one hour elapsed.
It is also possible windows refuses to obey to gPhotoShow request for standby.
I can't guess what happens without an extended log from gPhotoShow.

Re: Exe and Scr works with plugins ?

Hello,
thank you very much for your feedback
unfortunately standalone screen savers can only display images embedded inside the executable. They can't display images downloaded from the web or stored on the computer where they are installed.
This is a design choice and will not change in future.

Re: GPSPro Preventing Sleep

Hello,
gPhotoShow never prevents the system from going to sleep however this happens if gPhotoShow plays video files. This is normal because all video players prevent the system from going to sleep.
There is an easy solution, just install the plugin MonitorOnOff and configure it.

Re: File in Use

You cannot replace or delete files while they are in use by another program. The typical solution in these cases is to implement a retry mechanism, when the file cannot be replaced or deleted because it is in use, wait some time and try again. Wait time could be somewhere from 100ms to 1 second. A f...
