Is there a way to have sequential slideshow?

[yihtsair]

hi, i am new here in rainmeter.

I know that using quote plugin can measure random pictures, but my aim is not showing random picture. I would like to create a slideshow skin that can show pictures in sequence.

Say i have 10 pictures in a folder, #1~10.jpg, i would like to show them from #1 to #10, is it possible?

thanks for any advice

This is one simple approach that will work:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1

[Variables]
SecondsBetween=5

[MeasureCounter]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(MeasureCounter < 10 ? (MeasureCounter + 1) : 1)
Substitute=".00000":""
UpdateDivider=#SecondsBetween#

[MeterImage]
Meter=Image
ImageName=#CURRENTPATH#Images\[MeasureCounter].jpg
DynamicVariables=1

Name your images 1.jpg through 10.jpg and they will display in that order. The variable "SecondsBetween" can be changed to alter how often the images transition.

If you are not used to "conditional" formulas, it is basically saying "If MeasureCounter is less than 10, then add 1 to MeasureCounter, else set MeasureCounter to 1". Then the Image meter uses the value of MeasureCounter to display the correct image.

You need DynamicVariables=1 on the Image meter to use the value of a measure as the file name that way.
