Description: This is a KDE slide show screensaver which uses OpenGL for smooth zooming and crossfades. It has a simular feel to that of the MacOS X slideshow screensaver. Note that since this uses OpenGL textures for the images, you will need significant amounts of texture memory on your card for this to work well (especially for large images).
I would appreciate any _constructive_ input. I changed some of the features of the screensaver: The images used to have a vignette effect, and you could select the size of the image; now the image is always sized so that it fills the screen. Which is preferable? Should it be an option? Does the incremental jpeg loader work? Does it eliminate the lag between images?Last changelog:
- Added support for png images. They are loaded incrementally just like the jpegs, so skipping shouldn't be a problem. please report any problems.
- Stability improvements. Works on both greyscale and color jpeg's now (before it would crash on greyscale jpegs). Gracefully handles unmounting of drives which images are stored on (i.e. it doesn't crash when it can't read an image). Added an option to display the image name in the lower left hand corner. Also, the screensaver no longer always zooms towards the center of an image. It can zoom to any portion of the image, but gives preference to the top half for portrait oriented images (since that is where the center of focus normally resides in portraits). Didn't update the preview cause I'm too lazy.
- Added line to link to libjpeg. For some reason it worked on my machine without it.
- Image directory selection will now traverse into any subdirectories up to depth 1. This means you can effectively use multiple directories for source images by creating a directory with symlinks to your image directories.
- Much faster load up time, much smaller memory footprint, and uses much less CPU time than before.
- Implemented a incremental jpeg loader that (hopefully) prevents jerkiness between images. Movement should be smooth, unless of course, you set the delay time to something very small and your machine cannot finish loading the next image before it is due for display.
Won't compile in FreeBSD. I guess being forced to use Linux as the only UNIX-like OS isn't quite as evil as being forced to use Windows...

Since I'm not a C++ programmer, nor do I ever want to be, can someone who enjoys that $#!& please tell me what DEPDIR is supposed to look for? Every Linux distro has its own directory tree schema, FreeBSD has "man:hier" to specify the "Correct" directory tree scheme. I think if I can translate one to the other, I'll find that I actually DO have all the necessary files where they're "supposed" to be -- at least in the BSD standardized scheme of things.
This one is a wonderful screensaver, but with the newest version of kde - gcc - g++ the compilation fails:

hi there.i'm trying ./configure but always got :
checking for QT.... configure:error: QT (headers and libraries) not found... but i have qt headers ... anything wrong?
(and script is already correct)
thanks
I used this:
./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3/ --with-qt-includes=/usr/include/qt3/ --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/ --prefix=/usr
search your machine to be sure of the correct paths and use this format

I also had this problem, and corrected it by changing three lines in: kslidesaversetup.cpp
Line 163 says:

but should be:
QSpacerItem* spacer4 = new QSpacerItem...
Also add the prefix QSpacerItem* on line 167 and 174 and it will compile correctly.
Anyone got this working in debian?

Hi,
Question from an absolute newbie, who is complete fed up with windows.
Downloaded the tarball en did ./configure, but got the following message:
checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!
Can anyone tell me in newbie-language how to fix this?
I'm using Mandrake 9.1.
Thanx.
This is an awesome screensaver and should be included in the next version of kde as it beats every other slideshow screensaver I have used by far. keep up the good work!

As I haven't been able to find any rpm the compile way was the only one to take, but alas it fails as shown above..
If anyone has a link til a rpm download it would be much appriciated. I need this fine screen saver in my mandrake :)
cheers
It is possible to use a screensaver instead of a background image. To do this, call any screensaver with the -inroot parameter, e.g.:
kswarm.kss -inroot &
Most screensavers will look best of you set the background color to black.
However, using a screensaver as background might eat some CPU and X time ...
(Source: http://sunsite.bilkent.edu.tr/pub/linux/www.kde.org/faq/kdefaq-6.html)
First of all, EXELLENT work - very slick screensaver.
But now would it be possible to implement the screensaver as a desktop background using KDE's background program option? It would be the coolest desktop in the world. I don't know enough about how KDE's desktop elements to know if it is even possible, but if it IS, I would love to know how to implement it.
I love it!
I think it would be great if you could add some other effects as well :)
Another feature that I would love is the ability to select multiple directories for the slide show.
Keep up the good work!
What sort of effects do you have in mind?
Also, you can select multiple directories by creating a directory with simlinks to the image directories you want to use. SlideShowGL will recurse into the directory one level. I did this because it seemed like a more flexible solution - you can have as many image directories as you want, and it doesn't clutter the setup interface
My system: PIII (Coppermine) 733Mhz
NS: Debian Woody 3.0
Kerndl: 2.4.16
KDE: 3.1
Qt: 3.1.1
Card: Riva TNT2 M64, 32mb RAM
Drivers: official from nvidia v28.80 (those that came with woody)
OpenGL works ok on other GL screensavers and in other apps like tux racer or wineX.
The bugs (happen sometimes, and*only in fullscreen), all of them are in transitions:
Let's imagine that we have four images, A, B, C and D, and that they must be displayed in that order.
1) in transition from A to B (per example), the screen splits horizontally in two. In the upper half of the screen it displays the lower half of A, and in the lower side of the screen it displays the upper side of B.
2) in transition from B to C, happen this:
->zoom B (as desired ;))
->transition FROM A TO D
->end transition (D is on screen)
->start zooming C
The (2) problem appears to be an indexing issue. But the first one, seems quite strange (half portion of one, and the other half of another??)
BTW, your work is EXCELLENT. Perhaps this summer, with your permission of course, I and some friends make an slide show viewer (with full control of the effects with the keyboard and the mouse) based on your work...
Regards
PD: Excuse the tone of this message, but I am not an english speaker :)
The indexing problem that you speak of: are you sure that you do not have randomize images selected in the setup? If you do not have that selected then the images should display in alphabetical order, otherwise they are shuffled.
I don't really understand why you are having that split screen problem. I have never run across that. Your card seems rather old and does not have that much video memory. Possibly you are trying to load images that are very very large? If you try to load images that are larger than 2048x2048 the graphics card would need over 50 MB of ram to store that. Somehow i don't think that is the problem, but I am out of ideas.
Does this only happen on certain images? Try running the screensaver on a completely different set of images, preferably small images.

Have a look here : http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/portable-cpp.html#no_extra_semi_colons and maybe, tell the author that gcc3.4 is much more rigid with this syntax rule than older version... David
Sorry, my mistake, I was thinking to something else, maybe ;-) David
I also had this problem, and corrected it by changing three lines in: kslidesaversetup.cpp Line 163 says: spacer4 = new QSpacerItem... but should be: QSpacerItem* spacer4 = new QSpacerItem... Also add the prefix QSpacerItem* on line 167 and 174 and it will compile correctly.

If you do not have that selected then the images should display in alphabetical order, otherwise they are shuffled. I don't really understand why you are having that split screen problem. I have never run across that. Your card seems rather old and does not have that much video memory. Possibly you are trying to load images that are very very large? If you try to load images that are larger than 2048x2048 the graphics card would need over 50 MB of ram to store that. Somehow i don't think that is the problem, but I am out of ideas. Does this only happen on certain images? Try running the screensaver on a completely different set of images, preferably small images.
