switching between 2 images
Hi there,
I am trying to display 2 alternating image. I was thinking of some sort of 'screensaver' hack that switch between 2 images, or an auto start an image viewer and let the kindle to sleep back... Can the kindle turn on Automatically? I mean via a script while 'sleeping'? If not the kindlet way could be the way to go, loading 2 images and alternating between both... Any creative idea on this? |

maybe you can use eips to show the images and prevent screensaver to avoid going to sleep!
It would be easy to switch between images with a loop and eips inside a shell script!! |

I guess I am used to irc where you can actually ask question without the infamous just google it stupid..
edit: I see from reading other post that you're usually that sour... good to know |

If you read "'just google it stupid" in my description of one of the ways to find the answer on your own, that is not what I wrote nor what I intended. And if you do as I described, you will find a long list of posts here to answer your: "epis?" question. I made sure to check it, before giving you that advice.

For sure I see that you've have tons of post here, and I am very grateful for that, I generally don't understand why people take the time to say "just search for it" instead of just not saying anything, or just posting the link.
Anyhow ~ eips is exactly what I was looking for |

I prefer:
Give a man a match and he'll be warmed for a minute. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. (Maybe that's just the pyromaniac in me). But fishing works well too I'm sure. |

Based on where this thread is going lately, this is a bit off-topic
Is eisp really restricted to (IIRC) bmp and jpg images as per man command? |

Nope, it handles 8-bit PNG (with the -f -g switches), too, as was said on IRC .
