SimpleSlideShow update…

Ran into a problem with SimpleSlideShow recently where a flash drive contained files with a .jpg extension, but that were not JPEG files. While I don’t know exactly where they came from, the best solution was to add some code to SimpleSlideShow that would check the validity of alleged JPEG images before importing them. The result is at https://simpleslideshow.svn.codeplex.com/svn, version 1.1.

Giving back to the community…

Recently a 42 inch Plasma screen was donated to my church.  After looking around for an application that would display a series of images for use as a foyer “noticeboard” display, I couldn’t find anything as simple as I would have liked.  Being someone who thinks you can solve any problem if you throw enough code at it (but only just enough), I wrote SimpleSlideShow, a WPF .NET3.5 SP1 app that does the trick so simply that even the clergy can use it (oops, did I say that out loud?)

I have released the code on CodePlex, so if you have a need, feel free…
