New page

This will give you the option when viewing a fullscreen photo to start a slide show. This makes a great addition when on the touchstone.

Since we are doing this on just the fullscreen we will only be editing one file:
'''/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.photos/app/controllers/fullscreen-assistant.js'''

== First get a couple icons for playing and pausing.==
I used the ones in the music player. I named mine menu-icon-play.png and menu-icon-pause.png and placed them in the '/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.photos/images/' folder. If you dont care what the picture is, you can change the code below to use menu-icon-send.png where ever you see play or pause. (just remember the menu, the second icon is the play and the first one is the send.

== Second, add the play button to the top menu.==
Find 'updateViewMenu' function, Directly after:
<pre><nowiki>
this.menuModel.items[0].items =
[{
iconPath: 'images/menu-icon-send.png',
command: 'menu-share'
</nowiki></pre>

Add This:

<pre><nowiki>
},{
iconPath: 'images/menu-icon-play.png',
command: 'menu-play'
</nowiki></pre>

== Third, handle the 'menu-play' command.==
Find the 'additionalHandleCommand' function. Directly after:
<pre><nowiki>
case 'menu-share':
this.handleShare();
event.stop();
break;
</nowiki></pre>
Add This:
<pre><nowiki>
case 'menu-play':
this.handlePlay();
event.stop();
break;
</nowiki></pre>

== Finally, add two functions to control the play.==
Change the timeout (15000) to how many milliseconds you want them to show for. (I added mine directly after 'handleShare' function).
<pre><nowiki>
handlePlay: function(event)
{
if(this._playing)
{
clearTimeout(this._playing);
delete this._playing;
this.menuModel.items[0].items[1].iconPath = 'images/menu-icon-play.png';
}
else
{
this.menuModel.items[0].items[1].iconPath = 'images/menu-icon-pause.png';
this.handlePlayNext();
}
},
handlePlayNext: function()
{
this.urlProvider.jumpTo(Math.floor(Math.random() * this.urlProvider.getTotal()));
//10 second pause
this._playing = this.controller.window.setTimeout(this.handlePlayNext.bind(this),10000);
},
</nowiki></pre>

== To Do:==
*Configurable Display Time
*Pass Parameter to start automatically
*Configurable Option to auto start on charging
