Hi,
setting up a slide show preferences to display om two monitor, 2nd monitor is set to use a random picture.
Slide show is started to use random picture order.
Slide show starts...pictures set to change after some time N.
correctly after time N each display shows a random picture.
Now I pause the slide;
then press right arrow for next picture: ok on 1st display, 2nd shows random picture and changes picture every time N
then press down arrow for random next picture: ok on 1st, 2nd shows random picture and changes picture every time N
Desired behaviour and as working with some previous version: side show should stay paused on both displays until "arrow up" or resume slide show button. Display should show next picture i order when pressimg right arrow (or previous with left arrow).
can you please check
regards

Re: Bug: Slide show: two monitors
update on version 11.2:
- for me the bug is still existent in version 11.2.
the show on the 2nd monitor behaves differently than on the first if the time to show is set to "after time" instead "on click"
- glitch in german localization: the main menu is named "Ablage:Slide Show" while submenus are named "Diaschau"...this may be intentional
+the slide show for large folders is a lot faster now

Please download the new BETA build 4385.

Re: Bug: Slide show: two monitors
Thanks for the beta - i tried 4395
....i haven't set up a test szenario yet, but i think the slide show behaviour is....strange.
My usual test is:
slide show random folder.
pause slide show
move to next file in order with right-arrow
repeat this a few times
move to random next file with arrow down
repeat this a few times
...and then slide show seems to hang
switching to automatic mode with arrow up seems to help to get GC responde to arrow left/right/down.
also i have the impression it is not really showing a random order.

What happens if you use the space key?

Re: Bug: Slide show: two monitors
Hi,
I tested now with GC10 and the error was the same...
Checking what new images i had received I found one folder had what looked like the umlaut "ö" in its name.
The archive showed the umlaut as %f6 in its file name and inside the archive the folder name is shown as "ö"; also when extracted.
After removing the new folder everything was displaying ok in GC (thats is: slide show no longer "hangs". The issue with 2nd screen and also third screen not honoring the "paused" status i sstill there.)
Sorry for assuming the error was in GC.
regards
