Flashy Slide Show

----------------------

21/3/2012

This project is now approximately 4.5k loc and has taken me 2+ months of development time..!

Since it meets my "photography" needs as it is and the community doesn't seem to find it very useful (or else I would get more feedback on the videos , here , forums , debian mentors , etc..! ) I decided to pause it once again to concentrate on other projects :P .. Overall it is pretty stable , useful and I have done a good job profiling code and taken performance seriously while building it...

If someone wants a particular feature or has a bug fix , etc , you are welcome to contact me so that it will be added or fixed.. I still believe this is a very interesting project , but feels bad for me to spend so much energy somewhere where it is not appreciated..!
