Behold:


The output widow right/below is normally to be placed right outside the screen so it'll appear onto the beamer.

On top the main window with left a list o' groups, and right the images in such a group. Note that an image can appear in any group. One presses a key on the keyboard, and the image that belongs to that key will fade in while the previous image will fade out, e.g. a crossfade. The app itself works like a charm sofar. Since I'll also be doing the stage-lights/spots and a bit o' mixing, the slideshow can run by itself by simply moving on to the next image by a set interval. The thumbnails are simply the images with some setscale 1/16.0, 1/16.0 or something.., that's why I wanted 'em all in RAM, it'd save me the hastle to make a workaround for that.

Anyway, I'll experiment a bit with 512x384 images, while also experimenting a bit with a vista notebook with 2GB mem I may be temporarily using from wednesday.
