This app maintains a slideshow image folder, using Windows Spotlight images that meet the customizable selection criteria. The app adds or deletes slideshow images based on additions to or deletions from the Windows Spotlight folder by Windows Spotlight.

The slideshow folder can be specified in Windows Settings background personalization as the input to a desktop/background slideshow. Of course, the slideshow folder may also be browsed with any image viewer that can read .jpg files. The Slideshow Update app is most useful if it is setup as a Windows startup app but it can also be run manually anytime a refresh is desired.

Some of the selection criteria are based on exif-type data imbedded in Spotlight images. The Python Pillow addon is used to extract exif-type data. Tkinter is only used to display an error dialog, if errors occur. If there are no errors, the app runs "silently".

Requires a Python 3.x environment.
