Hello,
Is their a way to group certain pictures together?
I have 3 monitors and would like to have different pictures for all of them.
I want those pictures to automatically change every so often but without them changing the order or the monitor they are shown on.
for example:
Picture "Monitor_1_1" should always be displayed on monitor 1 and only together with the picture "Monitor_2_1" on Monitor 2 and picture "Monitor_3_1" on Monitor 3.
then after like 10 Minutes it should change to "Monitor_1_2", "Monitor_2_2" & "Monitor_3_2"
etc.
As I would like to have around 100 of such sets it would be nice to be able to have them all in one profile. But right now I can only think of putting each set in a different profile and then calling one profile after the other with the help of scheduled tasks.
Thanks for your help in advance.

If you put the wallpapers for each monitor in their own folders, you could enable the "Show in alphabetical order" option, then they should all change together. Note that you will probably want to enable the "Wallpaper: Don't Store Image History" option in the Settings > Advanced Settings window.
Hope that helps!

Hello Kieth Lammers,
thanks for your help. I already tried the alphabetical sorting with 3 different Folders but I had hoped their would be a way to still have them be displayed randomly.
Also I would like to have things sorted into categories. A bit like this:
C:\Displayfusion\Pictures\Nature\Monitor_1
\Monitor_2
\Monitor_3
\Space \Monitor_1
\Monitor_2
\Monitor_3
\etc.
One profile should be set to use all images and then other profiles for each category.
How do I go about naming the Pictures inside the folders? For the category specifics their shouldn't be any problems but for the one using all images their might. Do I have to use a naming like Categorynumber_Monitornumber_Picturenumber_Picturename or is their a different way?
And is their any way of randomizing them? Because it is a bit boring having a profile using every picture but for it to then just go through all of nature first, then all of space, etc.
Thanks in advance.
