Title: Dynamic snapshots, possible?
Post by: Stormrider on April 04, 2009, 03:34:14 pm
Recently I've found out about this website (http://www.progettoemma.net/snaps/) where you can get , not only the traditional in-game snapshots, but also title snapshots, how-to, select, scores, etc. Now, I wonder: could it be possible to store in-game snapshots in one folder, and title snapshots, for instance, in another folder and then configure MaLa so that the snapshot shown for the selected game is dynamic, like in a slideshow, changing the pictures, for instance, every one or two seconds. I've been told that maybe using plugins, this could be achieved. Please, don't suggest using videos.

At the moment you can only show all teh pictures at once:
Right now you can use definable to show the snap and four different other pics, but could use more if you use control panel and marquee pic.

As for the same snap window auto rotating, I am a bit busy right now to implement this (plugin or native) but this sounds like a good idea so remind me in a month or so if you want
