Photoshow builder

As the name suggests, the Photoshow builder lets you create a photoshow.

Features:

  • Combine photos from different devices in different folders
  • Synchronize the photos from different folders
    Most photos you want to show in chronological order. However if you smartphone automatically uses the right time from the network, but you don’t adjust the time of your camera, you have two different time orderings. To handle this, the application makes it possible to synchronize folders.
  • Select which photos to show
  • View the show in the Photoshow application, or export the photos to be shown

The Photoshow main screen

When you start the Photoshow builder, you see the following screen.

  • Besides the application title ‘Photoshow builder’, the titlebar shows the filename of the current Photoshow specification. If there are unsaved changes, there is a ‘*’ (dirty indicator) before the filename.
  • The menu bar only has a file menu, with the normal new, load and save items.
  • The top left shows a tree view of the Photoshow specification, which is initially an empty specification.
  • The top right shows buttons related to the steps to take.
  • The bottom part shows the list of photos.

Creating a photoshow

  • Give your show a title
    Double click on the title field in the tree view and enter a title for your show.
    This title is used as the proposed filename when you first save the Photoshow specification.
    TODO: show title for about 5 seconds as overlay on the photoshow
