WildBit works great! The only feature I'd like to see is resolving shortcut folders in the SlideShow. I was thinking it could work similar to the "Include Subfolders" checkbox. A check box that allows including shortcut folders.

Hi justinp and Welcome,
hmm. I think it would be separate find then. Ex. when Slide Show finds lnk files it lists them and searches them after main search is ended. And when all searches is ended it would combine results together.
hmm. It would be easier to let Slide Show search multiple folders like Search program does ex. C:\Pics;C:\Pics2;C:\Pics3

If selecting multiple directories is easier, then there should be a way to save the set of directories. For example, Set 1 consists of c:\pics1;c:\pics2, and Set 2 consists of c:\pics3;c:\pics4. I'm not certain what's the best way to save the sets of directories.
I still think handling LNK files would be simpler.

Hi,
Actually that set of directories is easier to implement. Its similar feature what is in Search.
hmm. I need to think more about LNK files handling.

Hi,
I have now added that multiple folders handling (similar way of handling them what are in Search now). But I need to check few things before I can release another Alpha version.

Hi Marko I've been using the new dev build for couple days and it's perfect! Thank you for responding to my request so fast. WildBit is the only image viewer that I know that has this feature that I need, and I've tried most of the popular image viewers out there on the internet.

I have been testing 5.8 Alpha 2.0 and 3.0 and find it difficult to agree with JustinP that this is "perfect". The feature is fine but there is now so much going on in the browse dialog box that I am finding it very difficult to use and I am sure that it will prove confusing to new users.
IMHO trying to construct sets of folders with more than 4 or 5 entries in that very limited space is just too difficult. I think that it would be preferable to open a larger dialog box to work in, much as is done for custom file lists.
I have discussed this with Marko but it would be good to hear the opinion of other users as well.
