Hi,
This is my first ever application for maemo. Its a desktop photoapplet which shows the slide-show of all the images in the selected directory and touching the interface brings up the osso image-viewer with that particular image being displayed. Of course, it is yet very far away from complete, I've made the basic functionality working and posting here to know what you guys think about it and any suggestions about how it can be made better.
Basic functionality includes:

• slideshow of course and one touch to open image in the image-viewer

• directory selection

• option to scan sub directories

• choose different time intervals with the maximum 16 seconds.

• choose from 4 transitions or mixture of all as "Random" or without any as "None" to install in the slide show.

TO DO:

• Apply various image effects in the slide-show [Done. More effects in the future updates]
  

• Add control buttons to go forward, back and show (I'm thinking of implementing this with the controls like in media player with the buttons visible on top of the video)[Accomplished..]

• Customizable background

Below are the screenshots of the application and will soon attach the .deb file as well.(Sorry for this list is not updated)




**You can install it directory in the scratchbox/n900 from extras-devel repository. (sorry not extras-testing yet. However, I'll soon promote it to extras-testing as soon as I get chance)

UPDATE: 0.2-1 is updated to 0.2-2
UPDATE FIXES: Crashing of application when invalid image is encountered in the slideshow or when the selected directory doesn't contain any image file.

EDITED: NOV 24, 09:
UPDATE: 0.2-2 is updated to 0.2-3
UPDATE FIXES:
*crashing when exiting applet in edit mode
*unstable writing of configuration file
*image skipping when navigating back and forward with control buttons

UPDATE: 0.2-4 is updated to 0.2-5 (This version is now in the extras-testing repository. ( Just uploaded ))
*Additional options in the settings dialog for selecting transition time and few transitions also support extra settings like direction.
*Disabling slideshow when the device's display is off(As I don't have the real device I couldn't test. I have only tested the function in n810 but not the whole application. So, testers required to help me out on this. Anyone willing to test this plz let me know of any bug.)
*Auto-completion while entering directory name in the settings dialog. It supports only obvious directories like "/home/user", "/home/user/MyDocs/.images", "/media", "/media/mmc1" & "/media/mmc2".
*Updating image list when the image(s) from the selected directory is/are altered is faster.
*Background image is changed to be more distinct in any device backgrounds.
