Personal Photo Frame is a new desktop widget for Fremantle. This widget allows you display a single photo or a slide show from a local directory.

Version 0.2-2 is building now (in extras-devel), and I will promote it to extras-testing if there are no problems.

I have a number of future features planned for once everything is working properly. Right now you can select a single photo to display, or a directory to display a slide show from. When displaying a slide show you can select the amount of time each photo displays, and display left/right arrows to manually switch.

Please test and report back any issues or feature requests.

Thanks!

Edit Version 0.2-4: Files will now open in the image viewer when you click the widget, and the image looks selected when pressed. Fixed a problem where clicking forward in the slideshow skipped an image.

Edit Version 0.2-5: New custom icon by joshua.maverick (thanks!). Outline photo and slideshow controls. Pressing controls highlights the control rather than the whole widget.

Edit Version 0.2-7 is in extras-testing. This version adds three user selectable sizes (small, medium, large) so you can have the photos display as you want. Also fixes some bugs with single file selection, and the selection dialogs now remember your last directory.

Edit Version 0.3-2 is in extras-testing with a number of UI improvements. First and foremost is EXIF-based rotation for photos with the orientation tag set. The frame is now transparent (and the photo takes up the whole height and/or width), slide show controls moved to the left/right centre positions, slide show controls now have a larger area of affect (the entire sides of the widget), and a couple of smaller changes I can't remember right now
