Ok, not really a feature of the program, but, using the "Collection Gallery" plugin made me think....

I wish I could run something like this as a screen saver - showing the cover and the details, randomly.... just for "show off" value...

not something I would use everyday... but.... sometimes

I've got this working with the Google Photos screensaver.
It doesn't have a wildcard option to only select fronts, which is all I wanted to display, so I whipped up a small batch file that I've got pinned to my start menu to populate and refresh a subdirectory with only the front images after every local db update. If you want to show backs as well, then the .bat is unnecessary; just point the app to the "Images" folder instead of the "fronts".

del "C:\Documents and Settings\PalindromeMD\My Documents\DVD Profiler\Databases\Default\Images\fronts\*.jpg" /Q
copy "C:\Documents and Settings\PalindromeMD\My Documents\DVD Profiler\Databases\Default\Images\*f.jpg" "C:\Documents and Settings\PalindromeMD\My Documents\DVD Profiler\Databases\Default\Images\fronts"
cls


The Picture and Sound Show ss works okay, but I liked the collage display that Google provided better.

Nice job.  Could you describe how to do this in a bit more detail?  I don't know how to make a batch file.
Horror Harem!

First, create a new folder inside your Images folder called "fronts"
Then create a new text file called "update_covers.bat". You can place it anywhere; I have mine in the root of c:.
Copy and paste the contents of my quote above into your new text file, replacing the username with your own. Save it.
That's it.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Even weirder - there is now a link to bring you straight back here

But - still not exactly what I wanted - though will give these ideas a try....

I wanted to see random stats/overviews/images all at the same time.... guess it might be more than I can hope for
