My kingdom for a second monitor slideshow
Mac OS X Tiger includes a cool slideshow feature in the Finder. This feature is also in Preview, and a similar one exists in iPhoto. You just grab a folder of images, and hit the Slideshow button. Easy as pie.
Except if you want to display the slideshow on a second monitor (like a projector). No dice. Not one of the built-in quick-slideshow features in Mac OS X will do that, even if you put the app on the second monitor and invoke the slideshow. Even iPhoto will let you configure options for a slideshow, but it won’t let you choose the display on which it should appear.
Seriously, how hard would it be to add this feature? Why have no shareware/freeware apps stepped up to the plate?
I finally remembered I could set the other display’s desktop picture to cycle through a folder of images. But it shouldn’t really be that kludgy.
Apple must just want you to buy Keynote.
