CD Viewer - Summary
 
     

CDViewer is a small program created to display digital images that have been written onto a CD in a number of the most commonly used image formats (.jpg, .jpeg .bmp or .gif).

No installation is required onto your computer. Just add the CDViewer program and an autorun.inf file to the CD when writing the images to the disc. You now have a backup of your digital images that will also play as a slideshow.

 

 
   
Once the slideshow has started, you have control over a number of features of how the images displayed
  • You can pause and resume the slideshow.
  • You can increase or decrease the delay between displaying different images.
  • You can manually control the slideshow, going forward or backwards through the images.
  • You can jump to the first or last image in the display.
  • You can display a screen showing small copies of all the images.
 
     

There are four slideshow options that you can alter if required

  • The delay between each image. The default delay is 3 seconds.
  • The folders of images to be displayed. If there is more than one folder containing images on the CD, selection of those folders to be displayed when the program starts running can be requested. The default option is to display all the folders without asking.
  • Text Display. Descriptions of the images can be saved in a text file and this information can be displayed with the image. The default option is to display the text if it exists.
  • Maximizing Option. If the image size is less than your screen size, the image will be enlarged to fill the screen as much as possible (whilst maintaining the correct aspect ratio of height to width). This can be prevented if required to show the images at their actual size. The default is to display the images at the maximum size possible on your screen.
 
     
The only restriction to running the program is that the computer used to play it must have the Visual Basic 6.0 runtime files installed. This should cover most recent computers. If not, the runtime files must be included on the CD along with the program.
