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...

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.

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.

Wait time could be somewhere from 100ms to 1 second. A f...

Hello,
I am not sure I understood your question, what is in use ? Image files ? The directory where images are stored ?

For example: [File.Name,,8] displays the first 8 characters from file name. Unfortunately there is no way to remove the last x characters or just remove any digit. For this ne...

Hello,
Unfortunately what you ask is not feasible. gPhotoShow has a single description that applies to all images
Because of the way the program is designed, it is also difficult to implement something like this

Thank you very much for your suggestion

Unfortunately no, there is no way. gPhotoShow doesn't record the position inside the video. Every time it plays a video it calculates a new position.
