Organize image folders by collection and category
Choose a root folder for a collection, then place useful category folders below it. SlideShow Bob works from the first subfolder it finds and the folders beneath that level.
For example, a project could use C:\SomeEvent\Images as the collection level, with Cats, People, and Places beneath it. Selecting Images includes the complete set; selecting Cats limits the image set to that category.
- Use short, descriptive folder names
- Keep each project's categories beneath one collection folder
- Select a parent folder for a broad image set
- Select a child folder for a narrower image set
Keep audio folders equally predictable
A useful audio structure is root folder, artist, album, then song files. If an album spans multiple discs, each disc can have its own folder beneath the album.
SlideShow Bob supports MP3, WAV, and FLAC files. Playback quality is determined by the source and encoding—not by the filename format alone—so use files that sound right and work reliably in your editing workflow.
Choose how the duration is determined
A timeline can be based on the selected audio duration, a chosen image count, or a duration you enter manually. Decide which constraint matters most before generating the slideshow.
