Feature request: more folder options

Once again - thank you for such a great program with so many features! By organising my files into folders and sequencing them I am finding it possible to create a really nicely customised experience.
Even though there are so many features, I cant stop finding more that I would love to see included. :mrgreen:

FEATURE REQUESTS:

1) Any chance of adding the possibility to set the audio per folder, perhaps by playing only the audio files from the folder the images are being sourced from? (This would allow us to create slideshows for specific tracks of music within a larger screensaver).

2) Any chance of having a 'jump to next folder/previous folder' button (that also works in the exported scr file)? (This would allow us to create 'chapters' and jump through them).

Thanks again ~ NDV

Thanks for your suggestions.

I can't say if they will ever be implemented, there are difficulties due to the way the program was designed. For example what is "next folder" when you have a hierarchy of nested folders and are playing files randomly ?

Well what I was imagining was...
I notice that the video files only play when the folder they are in is reached from the sequence set in the images folders list.
So if we have the following set up:
Folder A: imagesA
Folder B: imagesB + videoB
Folder C: imagesC
Folder D: videoD
Folder E: imagesE
Then the ss plays: imagesA, videoB, imagesB, imagesC, videoD, imagesE.

Could the audio be set to be accessed in the same sequence logic as the videos,
as defined by the ImagesFolders sequence?

For now there is no plan to change the way audio files are retrieved and played
