<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
With this Kipi-plugin you create a perfect slide show with 3 mouse clicks.
</para>
<sect1 id="using-plugin-slideshowsettings">
<title>The Settings Dialog</title>
<para>
Upon opening of the plugin from the host application the <emphasis>Advanced Slide Show</emphasis> window will appear asking questions as to how you want to stage your slideshow. You can choose between the selected images and all images in the same album.
</para>
<para>
The <guilabel>Use OpenGL Slideshow Transitions</guilabel> checkbox enables very smooth image transitions using the OpenGL display mode. Be sure to have OpenGL enabled on your graphics card, since otherwise the slideshow will be very slow.
</para>
<para>
The <guilabel>Print Filename</guilabel> checkbox enables the image filename to be displayed in the lower left corner.
</para>
<para>
The <guilabel>Loop</guilabel> checkbox enabled will run the whole show in an endless loop (until manually stopped with
<keycombo><keycap>Esc</keycap></keycombo>).
</para>
<para>
The <guilabel>Shuffle Image</guilabel> checkbox enables to display randomly the images (not using the current images collection order).
</para>
<para>
The <guilabel>Delay Between Images</guilabel> may be set in millisecond steps. 1500 milliseconds correspond to 1.5 seconds and are a good default value. The best timing depends also a bit on your computer power and the transition effect. Try it out before you show it to your friends!
</para>
<para>
There are more than a dozen <guilabel>Transition Effects</guilabel> available which you can choose from.
The <emphasis>Random</emphasis> selection will change the transition effect with every image.
