NEW: multiple image support in info-screen

Good evening!

new myPrograms version with a new feature:

* multiple image support in info-screen:
MP looks for images with "_1", "_2", "_3" .... postfixes and cycles through them in the <F3>-info screen.

Example:

You have a game "pacman" with the image "e:\imgs\pacman.jpg" linked to it.

Every three seconds myPrograms tries to find a image file:
"e:\imgs\pacman.jpg"
"e:\imgs\pacman_1.jpg"
"e:\imgs\pacman_2.jpg"

etc

and does a MINI slideshow with them!

Conditions:
same file extension / same directory

Reason:
the image scraper of the myGames tool dumps multiple image files with this convention.

Todo:
support multiple imagefile-directories
=> then it will be possible to cycle through MAME titles / snaps / flyers etc.

=> I WANT THAT FEATURE (but I'm too tired to finish it tonight :lol: )

As always: on CVS and on my server (see links in first post of this thread).

Enjoy!

Daniel
