Why did you make this screensaver when Windows XP has a similar random photograph screensaver build in?
Windows XP has a nice screensaver to display photographs, pictures and other images. Unfortunately it lacked some features I was looking for. The main three features I missed where firstly that it displayed hidden images and folders. - I tend to keep all the digital photographs I've ever made and I hide the ones blurry ones and other pictures I don't like to see in my screensaver -. The second reason was that I tend to make thumbnails from some photo series and I don't want them in my screensaver either. The third reason is I wanted a randomly changing background wallpaper on my computer.
The photo transition effects in my screensaver are slightly less. That is there are none, but at least it displayed the title of the image so I can see where it was, if I don't recognise the scene immediatly.
