Re: [Freevo-devel] Image viewer slideshows

[Aubin P. <au...@pu...>]

Hi there,

This seems like an interesting addition; my only question is this: are
you modifying the playlist file (playlist.py) or are the changes
entirely to the image viewer? The main reason I ask is because the
playlist library has been made generic to support both music and
movies, and it seems logical to add image support to it, rather than
to the image viewer; and then, in turn add playlist support for the
image viewer.

Hope that made sense,

Thanks,

aubin
