Slideshow

Slideshow mode presents the images in the current folder as an automatic sequence. It can run in the normal window or enter immersive fullscreen when it starts.


Starting a Slideshow

You need an image loaded before starting a slideshow. Use any of these methods:

  • Choose View > Slideshow > Start from the menu.
  • Click the slideshow button in the action bar.
  • Press S.

Starting the slideshow fits the current image to the available view and begins playback immediately. The default interval is 3 seconds per image.


Presentation Controls

When the slideshow is active, the presentation bar provides:

Control Action
Previous Show the previous image in the folder list.
Play / Pause Pause or resume automatic playback.
Next Show the next image in the folder list.
Loop Enable or disable wrapping from the last image to the first.
Interval Select 2, 3, 5, or 10 seconds per image.
Counter Show the current position in the loaded image list.
Stop End the slideshow.

Manual navigation skips images hidden from the sidebar. Changing the interval while presenting restarts the timer with the new value.

The presentation bar and other floating controls fade out after inactivity. Move the pointer over the viewer to reveal them again. Hovering the presentation bar keeps it visible while you use its controls.

During an active slideshow, right-clicking the viewer opens a presentation menu with playback, navigation, loop, interval, and exit actions.


Timing and Looping

Interval

The available intervals are:

Option Duration
2s Two seconds per image.
3s Three seconds per image.
5s Five seconds per image.
10s Ten seconds per image.

You can change the interval from the presentation bar, the View > Slideshow menu, or Settings > Slideshow. The selected value is saved for future sessions.

Loop Mode

Loop mode is enabled by default. When enabled, playback returns to the first image after the last one. When disabled, the slideshow pauses at the end and shows an end-of-slideshow notification.


Fullscreen

The Fullscreen on start option controls whether a new slideshow enters immersive fullscreen automatically. It is enabled by default and can be changed in Settings > Slideshow.

If fullscreen is disabled, the slideshow remains in the normal application window. The presentation controls still appear and use the same playback behavior.

While presenting in fullscreen, the viewer keeps the image fitted to the available display area. The slideshow can be stopped with the presentation bar or Escape.


Keyboard Shortcuts

Shortcut Action
S Start the slideshow, or pause and resume it when active.
Space Pause or resume playback while the slideshow is active.
Right Arrow / Down Arrow / D Next image.
Left Arrow / Up Arrow / A Previous image.
Enter / G Toggle fullscreen.

Slideshow Settings
