Common questions
Why not use the slideshow or screen saver in Photos?
Many people find those cycle the same small set of photos, often in the same order, even with shuffle on. MySlide deals out every photo you've chosen once, in random order, before any repeats, and does it separately on each screen.
Does it show photos that are only in iCloud?
Not yet. MySlide shows the photos stored on your Mac. If Photos is set to Optimize Mac Storage, photos kept only in iCloud are skipped. To include everything, choose Download Originals to this Mac in Photos › Settings › iCloud.
How many screens does it handle?
Any number, including just one. Each screen is set up separately and remembered.
How big a library can it show?
It's built for around 100,000 photos on local or external drives. Photos start showing after the first batch is scanned.
Does it change or move my photos?
No, it only reads them. The one exception is Delete on a folder photo's right-click menu: it asks first, then moves that file to the Trash, where you can put it back.
