view picture slideshow from flash drive

[theski232]

I am unable to watch a picture slide show from a flash drive, i do not want to have to transfer the pictures to a computer just to watch the slide show, and no, I can not keep the pictures stored on a computer. Is it possible to change this or not?

Once flash drive is connected to computer can't you just go to that drive and click on and open the picture show you want to watch?
Maybe I misunderstood your problem...

You could open the USB Flash Drive through My Computer, drag or Copy/Cut and Paste the pictures to a folder on your Desktop or anywhere you chose to save them.

Then open the Folder you saved them to and select Slideshow at the top.

Then after viewing save them back to your USB Flash Drive.

If you go to the customize tab of the properties for the folder the pictures are in and change the folder type to Pictures you will have the slideshow option in the command bar.

If you go to the customize tab of the properties for the folder the pictures are in anf change the folder type to Pictures you will have the slideshow option in the command bar.

Good point, in more depth: right click your selected Picture Folder and select Properties.

Click the Customise Tab and under "Optimise this folder for:" section, click the Dropdown box and select Pictures, then click Apply and OK.

I can start a slideshow by viewing any picture on my flash drive in the default picture viewer and clicking the slideshow button or F11, even if the folder type isn't changed.

It is a very large number of pictures and takes 5+ min. to transfer the pictures

If you go to the customize tab of the properties for the folder the pictures are in and change the folder type to Pictures you will have the slideshow option in the command bar.

thanks it worked

HI,
Have you copy and pasted the files to your computer ?
If so what file type is the file that was transferred and how many 1 or as many as in the slide show ?
Right click the file and click on properties
You should see what file type the file is on the details section of it properties.

Well I have the USB flash drive so when I copy and paste it as it will copy the slideshow I need to copy the photos to edit and it won't let me if I am not mistaking the file is a MOV file. I am trying to do this for my mom for her birthday. There are about 7 photo I think the slideshow is like 5:22sec long not sure what to do. Thanks

Hi,
Thanks you can use Windows movie maker to save the files as separate files instead of a .mov file

Here's a good start,

 

[Pinky]

Can I not copy each photo one at a time or no

 

[kado897]

No it looks like the pictures have been turned into a video. . movie Maker will split it for you.

 

[Pinky]

How would I do that with movie maker

 

[kado897]

Load the movie into Movie Maker, position the cursor on the picture and press the snapshot button. The quality will be nowhere near as good as the original photo because that was lost when the MOV file was created.

Hi,
Yep you can also view the .mov file and take screen shots as you pause the video
By using either the windows snipping tool or keyboard shortcut keys
My keyboard keys are Shift+PrintScrn keys
If you have a FN keys it would be that FN+PrntScrn
Then open Windows Paint and use the Paste icon on the top left after using the shortcut keys.
Then Blue file button on the top left and Save as .png
Repeat for the rest of the files you want to edit.

 

[Pinky]

So with windows movie maker it will allow me to edit my photos to make them look better

Hi,
No not really you'd have to edit them in another program photo gallery which is part of windows essentials 2014
Or you can use another third party photo editing program like Free GIMP or Paint.net......
