Obviously, it's not possible to use APIs that aren't provided by the plugin. Each API requires specific programming, and this can only be done by modifying and recompiling the code.

Thank you very much for your timely response. I am not a programmer for sure I'm oK at various script languages so the idea of recompiling code to add more is understandably more complex than just inserting a source with parameters.. my bad, I appreciate the inclusion of the provided weather plug-in providers. I have had a chance to create an openweathermap.org account and look forward to implementing my API Key to see my weather without having to go to the window ;D
BTW, totally enjoying gPhotoShow Pro and I am considering making a family 5 license bundle purchase to get more family involved in digital scrapbooks... stocking stuffer just in time for Christmas :D any chance to get a Christmas Family bundle discount? Also, have you considered selling licenses in the Microsoft store? Just curious ๐Ÿค”.

FYI, the last endless screensaver test also crashed/froze the system about 9 hours in; Wi-Fi connection was fowled up and required network troubleshooting repair, strange. The error log revealed that several. HEIC files failed. Checked the files out and learned that .HEIC files have Internet dependencies that I'll have to go learn more about now but I digress... after a little more testing of the files I discovered that somehow Photo legacy was set as the default app, probably from my Walkman syncing, so I set Photo as the default app and so far there's no signs of issue. I am going to blame Photo legacy for breaking my network connection ๐Ÿ™ƒ
I gotta say, everything about this program is crazy cool and only one item seems kinda lackluster that being videos. I would say as a wishlist item it would be nice to see the videos presented like motion scrapbook images ๐Ÿ˜„

Thanks again for your time and efforts ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘

The gPhotoShow Pro license allows you to install and register the program on all computers you own. There is no need for a "family bundle".

The program is available in the Microsoft Store but most downloads come from Google searches.

Future Plugin request would be, .. .
.. ScrapBook Media Encapsulation (SBME)
- utilizing the power of Active Desktop creat media handler subroutines that create active desktop elements. btb was going to ask how to change changing the original desktop wall paper as an option but found your tutorial on running in desktop mode and well, I'm well, mind blown๐Ÿคฏ
DaveZnotHere! MarZorBust

On a side-note, I'd luv 2 pick ur brain on some virtual integrations with Android Windows emulation and cloud computing.. of course I'd like to pm you and get to know each other better.. feel free to edit this out ;D let's PM ?? I'll send you my chaotic. gss file that I've been using as mixed media system stress test ;D oh and btw, the Weather Plugin is working smashingly and showing a more representative temperature to my location... brr
I'm pretty sure a future update to the Weather Plugin with animated Weather results showing/demonstrating current conditions; after all I don't have to go to the window then :D
