Summary: Add the Picture's Path to the display of My Pictures.

Description: It would great if there was a an option somewhere to have the Picture's Path overlayed on the display of pictures in the same way as M$'s My Picture's screensaver doe sit.

FYI. I have thousand's of images (Family photo's) stored in folders based on the Date of capture. Sometimes a picture is displayed that needs removing or rotating, etc. and it can be a real headache to try and find it. If the path was displayed, it would be easy to find and fix it.

Thanks in advance,

You can easily rotate and delete from within MediaPortal ;-)

Really? Cool!

Can that be done while a slideshow is running?

Example:
We have a slideshow running and a picture is displayed that needs deletion or rotating so we can then press <some key> to rotate/delete it?

That is what I want to be able to do. I I have to stop the slideshow, I am then presented with multiple folders (named after years) which each contain multiple folders named after months & events. If I have to search for the photo to delete/rotate, I can waste a lot of time. To do this while the slideshow is running would be excellent. Alternatively, a full path being displayed during the slideshow would at least make for a quick search.

thanks for your help,

Nick Name.

F9 (info) brings up the context menu,
"r" will rotate by 90°

Actually - I would also like a feature where the path name is displayed during a slide-show but for a different reason. I always give my pictures a descriptive name. For example:

"Sunset on Cable Beach, Broome, Western Australia.JPG"

It would be great if My Pictures did this during a slide show (cutting off the .JPG extension). I currently have a screen saver that does this but I think this would be a worthwhile thing to do in Media Portal as well.
