Pretty neat, if this is what I think...is this a sort of program that would take, say gifs, or jpgs...and make a power-point style slide show out of them?
If so, way cool...have to get this, just for pix of my dogs.

If all dogs do not go to Heaven, then, when I die, I want to go where THEY went.
They say you can't take it with you, but, if I can't bring my Dingoo, I don't wanna go.

Yep, that's exactly what this program does. It doesn't work with large pictures however, like from a photo camera. |

I have only tested pics from my camera, and wallpapers and icons from dmenu.
So I guess it has to be 320x240 or smaller to work.

I assumed that much. But a pic from a photograph - which has then been scanned into a compy as, say a jpg - and then smallified to sufficient size - ought to work, yes? |

That is what I was hoping for. Can make a slide show of my dog...got pix of her from when she was a puppy up to now...can watch her grow up all over again!! Thanks a bunch for this one, Zear...this is truly great!! I wuv my puppy!! By the way, the download on this is a .tar file (and my WinZip won't let me open it normally - it makes me "decompress into a temporary folder" or something..) can you tell me what the installation configuarion of a correct install should look like? I do not know the names of folders that certain items ought to be in, what the program is specifically looking for. That, or can a normal .zip file be put up, please? |

When decompressed correctly, it should contain a "pv2x" dir you have to put somewhere on your SD card. I don't use Windows, so I don't know what programs are best for decompressing tar.bz2 files, but I read on the winrar website, that this program does support this format. I won't reupload it as a .zip, as it's a "normal" format only for Windows systems. On Linux tar.bz2 and tar.gz are the "normal" ones, and I'll keep to this standard |

I won't reupload it as a .zip, as it's a "normal" format only for Windows systems. On Linux tar.bz2 and tar.gz are the "normal" ones, and I'll keep to this standard that's ok. I have winRAR too. I'll just use that. WinRAR just is not set up as my default, that's all. I can't deal with anything but Windows. EDIT: OK...this is what happens when I open on WinRAR... I get some files, named following: COPYING pv2x.dge (yes, I know this is the program file) pv2x.png (yes, I know, this one is for the icon) README (not helpful) README.DINGOO (not helpful) Vera.ttf And some file folders: doc plugins pv2x-src.tar.bz2 There's also a ".." folder above all those that spins you off in all directions If I open the .bz2 folder, it won't let me do this in RAR...it asks to decompress...if I say NO, it gives me a file folder called: pv2x-src.tar If I open that, it has a massive amount of files...a lot of them a .cpp files (whatever that is) If I hit YES to decompress, it takes me to that same plce, with all the .CPP files. It's obvious to me that all THOSE files ought to be in some sort of folder...but what to name the folder?? what is the program expecting/looking for? and where to put said folder in the root? And where do the above-mentioned "doc" and "plugins" files go in directory? Sorry to ask all this, but NO INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS are given in the "readme" files. And this is something massively more complicated than I'm used to dealing with on the dingoo, currently. Can you please provide the correct directory structure for installation? Thanks!!! |

Hi,
Use ZipGenius - it will extract it all to a directory with the correct structure.
Have it working via gmenu.

I'll try that. thanks. EDIT: Hummmm...so do you put that monstrous .bz2 zip all on there without unzipping it or what? Now I get all of this...in a file folder called pv2x So...do I just put that in under usr/local/pv2x??? COPYING pv2x.dge (yes, I know this is the program file) pv2x.png (yes, I know, this one is for the icon) README (not helpful) README.DINGOO (not helpful) Vera.ttf And some file folders: doc plugins pv2x-src.tar.bz2 |

.cpp files are C++ source code files (pv2x-source.tar.bz2, geddit?). You don't need any of that stuff to run the program unless you want to compile it yourself, which you obviously don't.
NB. you could always try putting it on your SD Card and seeing if it runs before asking for help on the forums.
