I modified the slideshow function of media portal, since it seemed to already have most of the features I need
R3
----
Changes:
lots of changes, here are the most important ones:
- Adds/changes JPEG comment marker
- if "c:\dontKeepBackups.txt" exists, backups of images are not kept when editing comment
- Date format fixed (was previously using wrong ExifExtractor.cs.)
- Added "edit comment"-string to strings_en.xml
- new class "MediaPortal.GUI.Pictures.JPEGCommentHandler"
- Slideshow first tries to show JPEG comment as comment, then EXIF comment, then filename(without extension)
- "Edit Comment" added to slideshow context menu
- Added new action ACTION_EDIT_JPEG_COMMENT=9991
Known bugs:
- If the comment is too long, it's not shown.
- Multiline comments don't work well (for example the shorter row is not centered).
- The current cursor is not perfect
See readme.txt in .zip for older changes.
The OSD shows exif info depending on what controls exist in the skin's slideshow.xml file. See the readme.txt for more info.
Comments / suggestions welcome.
Here is the .zip, installation instructions in readme.txt:
