Correct Timing...
...based on the Time the Picture was Really taken:Selects
the correct wallpaper depending on the time the picture was taken (not
the time the file was created!)
Keep
track/ignore the date
Suppose you take a picture every 10 minutes during 48hours, if
you keep track track of the date, WallPaper24 will not interleave
the WallPapers: When started, WallPaper24 will select the most
apprioriate WallPaper for the current time (either day 1 or day 2).
- Keep Track of the date:
- WallPaper24 will every 10 minutes place a new WallPaper
on your desktop, following the rithm you took your pictures
- WallPapers from the second day will only be shown when
the WallPapers from first day have been shown
- Once the last WallPaper from the last day has been
shown, the first WallPaper from the first day will be shown
- Keep in mind, that if there are several days, weeks,
months between the date 2 wallpapers have been taken,
WallPaper24's update scheme will also incorporate this
delay.
- Ignore the date:

- Suppose you go on holiday, and take a different picture of
the same mountain at different times. However, as you don't want
to get up early, you only take the morning-pictures the day you
leave. Some day you went to bed really late and took some
night-pictures of this mountain just before going to bed. In
this case, you'd turn on the option: "Ignore Date", as this will
set the correct WallPaper at the correct time (noon, morning,
evening,...), even though you take the morning pictures at the
end of your holidays, the noon pictures at the beginning and the
evening pictures in the middle. WallPaper24 will cycle
through your WallPapers in 24 hours, even if it took you 3 weeks
to collect all shots.
Supported
File Formats
- JPEG (Using EXIF information for the time the picture was
taken)
- TIFF
- BMP
- PNG
For non-JPEG files, the time the file was created will be used as
time the picture was taken.
Performance through Indexing
The WallPaper24 program uses a special indexing mechanism for
improved performance. This index is built only once (at the first
startup of the application).
