QuickSlide 4+

Crashes when trying to displays picts from an external drive and crashes when folder contains a large amount of picts.

When it does not crash the display of pictures is not orderly - after a few picts displayed in order, then it will residplay a previously displayed pict and then display some more newer picts and the redisplay an older pict. This sequence goes on forever.

This App has great potential and I hope the bugs will be resolved in the next version.

I think these other people with negative reviews bought this $2 app expecing a super complicated, feature rich application. This is a utility and does what it's made for quite nicely. If you are looking for a no-frills slideshow viewer that does nothing but slideshows, this $2 app is a very useful tool. If you need something robust like saving a movie, file management (edit/delete/etc), super complicated transitions, etc, then you'll need to find a more expensive option.

You point this at directories and press the Start button … no delay, no indexing, just starts showing pics. Its great for setting up a kiosk at a party and occasionally dumping your memory card into a directory and restarting the slide show. People can use the arrow keys if they want to go back and see a shot again. Spacebar stops/starts the show, incase someone wants to pause on a specific shot to show others at the party.

It reduces the image view down to the max size of the screen automatically, so no cropped off heads/feet like with other slideshow apps. Would be nice if we could zoom in and pan around on a specific image. 5 stars for doing what it was made to do. Looking forward to updates.

1) Trying to add multiple folders causes a crash. (Press plus, then command select multiple folders, then close the file dialog.) I believe it passes an array of folders and the app is not handling that correctly. Able to get by with adding folders one at a time.
2) Need some way to make the space bar advance to the next image. I like being able to move back and forth in the slides using the arrow keys, but this is oriented around a slideshow that is timed rather than manual advance. I don't use timed slide shows.
3) Images are shown unscaled. It would be good to scale them to sthe size of the screen. Without this feature the app is kinda useless for me. Probably should give a choice of scaling to the screen with aspect ratio preserved as well.
4) Might be good to have a quick mode, if other people care about randomizing ,etc. I just want to select several folders of images, and then start playing them, manually advancing, in a random order, or in a consistent order. Shuffling could happen behind the scenes (or not) and doesn't really need its own UI.

I do like being able to only include certain file types. I bougth this app because I was thinking about making a similar app to sell in the store… I figured I needed an app to do these things, and so was going to make one for myself and sell it on the side. If this app can solve my need, it can eliminate me as a competitor :-)
