Pictures on second monitor! Using TT.

[Twit]

Hi all,

I have tried various ways to display pictures from xlobby on second TV.

I have a touch screen and a plasma. I need my pictures on the plasma and XL on the touch screen.

I have tried the jump to monitor feature in both nvidia and ATI's drivers. This works BUT one i have jumped once then every button push after that causes xl to jump.

I realized that TT (ver 2) can play jpg's.

I now create a text file with 'c:\this is\where\mypictures\are' as the only line in the file - save it with a 'plt' exstension and drop it into it's particular picture folder.

In XL i use the movie template and modify it to search for 'plt' files. I create the database - change the picture category to reflect the new database and modify the file types to trigger on 'plt' files.

Now when i click on a picture it launches TT on the second monitor and shows the pictures full screen at 5 sec intervals.

Later
Simon.

This is really rushed as I am late for work - post if more info is needed.
