Hi, I have a feature request for the next version of jsn imageshow pro.
I would like to have a fairly large number of photos in the "image folder" directory, and to be able to specify only showing a certain random number or percentage of them before the slideshow stops. As it is, the smallest loop I can do is "1" which would show all of them once.
One way to do this would be to extend the "Slideshow Loop" variable to accept a floating point value instead of just an integer. Then, if the input for this variable is 0, or 1 through X as an integer it would be interpreted as it currently is. However, if it is a decimal, between 0 and 1, then it could be interpreted as a percentage of images to show before stopping. For instance, 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 would show 25%, 50% or 75% of the images in the directory and then stop.
The reason want to do this is because I like the motion of the slideshow but I want to stop it after a period because I think it can get distracting when a user is trying to take in other info on the webpage. I would like to have a fairly large pool of images and randomly show a few of them before stopping which would have the effect of showing something new in the slideshow with each page load or refresh of my webpage--it would keep things interesting.
Thanks for your consideration.
