Is it possible to have an option for "Ignore portrait aspect images"? I find the programme great for running a slideshow on my second monitor, but portrait aspect images look a mess most of the time... especially if there are people in the centre of the shot, because it only shows from neck to knee.
I can separate the portrait ones out, but that messes things up when I run slideshows through my media centre.
Cheers

P.s. sorry if this is an old ask, there doesn't seem to be a search option in the discussions that I can see.

Yeah, I can certainly use the scaling options to ensure everything stays visible, thanks for considering it though... much appreciated.
I had also thought about requesting a folder play list, so that you could have a different folder each day. But I can get round that with a small C# programme (that I could write myself) to rename a set of folders based on the current day. Get that programme to run at boot up to modify the folders, then set DF to run as a scheduled startup instead of a "Run when windows loads" option.
It's a bit more fiddly, but it's something I can solve with a bit of effort on my part. I could probably solve the scaling issue with a programme that copies images into a target folder at boot, and let that programme filter out portrait aspect images. I certainly don't mind doing that, if you feel the feature isn't requested by enough people.
Thanks
