I realise I added this feature request in the wrong place before.. sorry!
I have code ready that I would like to submit. Its a simple thing but aims to make slideshows more interesting by varying the
slide delay on a random basis.
-D 15
Behaves as it always has, giving a 15 second pause between slide changes - nothing new there.
-D 1,2,5,10,15
Give slide delays chosen randomly from the list, with each item having the same probability. Duplicate values are allowed.
-D 1x10,2x5,10
Gives 10 chances to the 1 second delay, 5 for the 2 second delay and 1 for the 10 second delay. The actual probabilities being
10/16, 5/16 and 1/16 in this case. All arguments may be real numbers, so
-D 1.2x10,2x5,10x0.5
Is valid and handled as you might think, giving 1.2 seconds for 20/31 of the time, 5 seconds for 10/31 of the time and 10 seconds for 1/31 of the time. This sounds more complex than it actually is!
As was previously the case, a preceeding - to the slideshow delay string starts the slideshow in paused mode. (But otherwise everything is set up as it would be without the '-' )
This is essentially a simple fix that adds great interest to slide shows since the delay is not all the same! Its flexible and backwards compatible. I feel there is no downside to accepting this.
Could others comment with their thoughts?
Assuming this is accepted, I am not quite sure what the submission process would be. At the moment I have this as a local branch in git.
