We are setting up a photobooth for a party that we are hosting. I am using a webcam with cheese to capture images to a directory on an NFS share. I'm displaying the images with a second computer attached to a large display. What is a good way to set up the second computer to do a continuous slideshow that will:
-Loop through the directory continuously.
-Display random transitions.
-Pick up new pictures as they are dropped into the directory.
I have found several programs that do 2 of 3.
EOG does the loop nicely and picks up new pictures but I can't figure out any transitions. So far this is my leading candidate.
GQView does the transitions but doesn't pick up new pictures that arrive in the directory after the slideshow has started
Feh also seems to only loop through the pictures that were in the directory when the command was run unless someone knows how to do a script that will let it reload the list and keep going.
