  1. How I can get the Photos screensaver to display the path to where the photo currently...


    I have many thousands of photos in hundreds of folders. All are in one folder that I point my screensaver at. I have selected the random option. When a photo appears on the screensaver that I want to either orient differently or remove I can't find it as no identifiers appear. Many years ago the path was displayed along the top of the screen. Now it is not. Is there a way to show the path? SECOND QUESTIONAn old version of the photos screensaver would also play any videos that were in the designated folder as part of the screensaver. How can I get what I used to have?MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE* Cha

    :)

    Screensaver Photos - I would like file name (path) displayed

    I have recently upgraded to W10
    My previous screensaver displayed my photos and also gave the name / filepath.
    This is really useful as I have a big archive, all photos are named and dated. Quite often I am keen to know the details of the photo displayed.
    Is there a fix? Or is there 3rd party program that will do it as W10 doesn't seem to offer that facility.
    Thanks

    No zoom/pan with Photos Screensaver

    Hello! How I can get the Photos screensaver to display the path to where the photo currently... :)

    I recently switched from OSX to Windows and I wanted to create a sceeensaver with my photos.

    However when I chose "Photos" as the screen saver and select the folder containing my photos it simply displays the complete image, it doesn't zoom in, doesn't pan and there's no option for it either.

    I searched around and found numerous mentions of a checkbox "pan/zoom" (or something alike) but for the life of me I can't find it!

    Am I doing something wrong or am I missing a step?

    I'm looking for a way to have my photos displayed similar to the Ken Burns effect on Mac OSX screen savers and others have reported that Windows can deliver that out of the box...

    If it's not possible to do that with the built-in screensaver can anyone suggest an alternative? How I can get the Photos screensaver to display the path to where the photo currently... :)

    Another issue: I'm using a calibrated screen but the screensaver seems to ignore the profile.

    Thank you in advance!

    Looking for a screen saver with beautiful photos or designs

    Hey guys,

    I'm looking for a screensaver that will work with my ultra wide monitor (3440x1440). More specifically, a screensaver that comes with beautiful landscape photos and/or artistic designs. I'd like something that can perform like a slideshow.

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    Cheers,

    grecinos
