I cannot seem to get three different slideshows to appear on each of my three monitors using My Pictures Slideshow.

I go to Slideshow Settings in DF, and it shows me an image of all three monitors and their relative locations. I can click on each monitor representation and get an accurate description of each monitor. I set My Pictures Slideshow as the screensaver for each of the three monitors, and the same image appears in the Settings representation of each monitor. When I move from the representation of Monitor 1 to the representation of Monitor 2 and attempt to change the photo directory to display on Monitor 2 (Settings button, then Browse button on the popup), the image on the Settings representation of all three monitors changes to an image from the photo directory that I chose for Monitor 2. The same for attempts to choose a directory for Monitor 3.

In other words, I cannot find a way to choose a different photo directory to use for a My Pictures Slideshow in each of my monitors.

However, I CAN achieve the same goal by using DisplayFusion Photos Screen Saver for each monitor. Is this the only solution? I ask because the Windows slideshow (My Pictures Slideshow) actually shows a small image of a photo from the directory on the Settings representation, while DF Slideshow shows only the icon of a white monitor with a blue screen and white ball. I like seeing a small image in the Settings menu, because it is an easy way to see (quickly) what slideshow has been selected.

Thanks.

ETA: It would be nice under DF Photos Screen Saver to have a dropdown menu for multiple options of the order in which pictures will be displayed. (e.g. date ascending/descending, filename alpha, random, etcetera). Perhaps even sorting based upon different Attributes in the EXIF data.

It sounds like the "My Pictures Slideshow" stores its settings globally. Unfortunately there wouldn't be a way for us to override that to store them per-monitor, sorry!

I've added your request for different sorting options to our feature request list though :)

Please let me know if you have any other questions at all.

Thanks!
