Photo Slideshow in Monitor 2

Postby hansmaravilla on Thu Nov 01, 2007 10:11 pm

I am using 2 monitors, one for the XL Menu and the other one for viewing. The movies and Music visualization goes to Monitor 2 which is my big screen tv. But I am having problems in viewing pictures on Monitor 2. Is this possible?

This was discussed some time ago. Can't remember what the exact topic was but the gist of it was, using the built-in viewer, no. Someone here, I think, uses some external app to view pictures, but I have no recollection of who it was and no knowledge of how they are doing it.

I think this may be what cmhardwick is talking about. Using an external photo software like picasa looks like an option. See this thread http://www.xlobby.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... ght=picasa

I havenĀ“t tryed this lately, but this used to work:
You can skin in dual monitors by seting the x and Y cordinats for your sec. monitor.
If you run 1024x768 you simply set your slideshow x to 1024 and y to 0
You can now control your slideshow from monitor 1 and view it in monitor 2.
