7.0 Flickr & Dropbox

I added two cloud providers as source for your photos that should be used in the slideshow.

Dropbox

A great storage provide which I use already a long time. Recently they started focusing more on the storage of photos for example automatic storing of photos from your mobile in your dropbox folder. If you are not a dropbox user yet, use this url to get 500Mb extra (also for me so thanks!).

Flickr

One of the best known photo storage providers so it seemed obvious to include this one first.


I included these new sources in the premium app. If you are a user of the ad-supported app, you will have to install another app which includes these new sources but not network drives or UPnP. Both apps do include the possibility to do a slideshow of local photos.

Let me know what you think, what is missing or what other providers I should include!

Release 6.3 : multi-select and date mask

For release 6.3, there are two important new features to help the user to filter the photos shown in the slideshow and one feature giving a nicer single photo view UI.
  • Multi select for local and LAN sources makes it possible to select only a couple of files and folders instead of running the slideshow for every folder.

  • Date mask allows the user to select only photos more recent than a fixed date or only in the last period (periode defined by a number of years, months or days)

     
  • Satellite menu during single photo view is just a nicer look of the previous menu but in the future, it will be easier to add new functionality.
