TrueSlideshow

Usage

.\ts.exe --interval 10 --path "C:/path/to/folder"

Two optional paramaters may be provided:

  • -i, --interval The time between each image change in seconds, defaults to 5
  • -p, --path The path to the folder with images, if no directory was provided, then it will default to %USERPROFILE%\Pictures

In order to respect user preference, please note that the wallpapers will not persist so a simple logout and login (or restart) will reset the wallpaper back to the one set by the user.

Picking an executable

Each release will contain two executables, the default which is built using /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS making the program run in the background and show no console (this is what you usually need), and the _console suffixed executable which is compiled with /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE making it always show a console with logging, ideal for reporting bugs or keeping track of the program's activity.

It is recommended to install the default executable to %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup so that it can startup with your session, or you can make a shortcut to it there with additional arguments (e.g. custom folder).
