Hi,
tinkering with ShowImage for a little while and I notice that if Slide
Show is active, it is still possible to resize an image at the same
time. This is very confusing behaviour! ;o)


By resize do you mean zoom in and out? Or do you mean the resizing
that involves the little window and actually changing the image's
size?


Can the resize option be disabled whilst Slide Show is active? Some sort
of logic needs to be applied here IMHO.


If you mean zooming, I personally like this behavior. If you turn on
auto shrink or auto zoom you can no longer manually zoom, so I would
suggest turning that on before you do a slide-show.
If you mean the resize window, you probably have a point. I'll look into it.

Yup, definitely the resize window. You can (if you try hard enough) manage to input new values into the width or height field between slides changing. Can't think of any reason why anyone would want to do this.....but anyway it is possible. ShowImage is busy calculating width/height ratios as Slide Show is active, which I think is quite neat. The temptation to input values at this point is always there! 

Thanks
