yes, I think it should work. acording to microsoft's documentation that's what iwndows does. it says that when you click the "settings" button in the windows screensaver properties window that windows executes "c:\whatever\yourscreensaver.scr" /c, and the result is the configuration pages pop up. I ...

15,000 images in a screensaver? :shock: If 'customers' are moaning that they can't see all the images in their screensavers, then it proves they aren't working at their computers, and they have time to waste! ;) only my own screensavers are that big, I like it that way because if in remebering ...

Thank you for your great customer support, it reinforces that this was the right software to buy. I actually Screensaver wonder as I make screensavers for myself and for a club and they are all freely distributed. Adding the feature to have the screensaver remember where it was and pick up where it ...

how to open the configuration window with a shortcut

I want to try to create a shortcut which will directly open the configuration window for a screensaver created with screensaver wonder 4.3. according to MSDN documentation windows does this in the screensaver properties window by executing the screensaver's .scr file with a "/c" property attached to ...

I'm a software engineer myself, I've encountered enough memory leaks to know how to find them! I'm honestly not so concerned about optimization or speed, when you put 20,000 images into a screensaver builder I would expect it to take a while to handle all of that data. it took over 2 hours to load ...

that makes sense about the file size. are they stored as an absolute path or a relative path? I suspect that they are absolute paths which would make the most sense, however it has the limitation that if I were to transfer the save file with the image files over to another machine, if the images are ...

image count

just to keep a better idea of how large of a screensaver is being put together, can you add a counter display which says how many images are in the screensaver? maybe to the lower blue border, like where it says "Order Now" in the trial version, or up at the upper blue border where it says "add your ...

that's too bad, it should be possible, it just means a second set of calculations for the display parameters on the other monitors, one of the things which I really like about your program is its ability to work with dual monitors, I really like how it switches back and forth which one gets updated ...

interface locking up when adding large number of images

when I add a large number of images to a screensaver, particularly when there are already a large number in a screensaver, the interface seems to hang during the load process. it will often load the images very slowly, 1-2 per second (much faster when loading the first ones, but after there are many ...

If this and other features requested in this forum are added to screensaver factory, will they also be included in screensaver wonder? I make screensavers mostly for my own use, I think the screensaver wonder software is the version that will work best for me.

thanks

Remember last image in sequential mode.

from what I have seen in the first 5 minutes of trying out this software is that it is the best there is out there. I have been looking for literally years to try to find a screensaver program which has the features that I need. they key feature that everyone else seems to leave out, but this ...

I came here to report exactly the same thing. I have dual monitors running at different resolutions. I can't set them to the same resolution because they are different sized monitors, and I don't want to reduce the main monitor's resolution. I noticed that most of these posts are from some time ago ...
