    Desktop slideshow Q


    Windows 10 Pro Ver:19045.3803

    I like to run a desktop slideshow constantly and have it pointing to a rather large directory of images to use (around 750 photos/pics). I sometimes see an image I want to edit but no matter how often I trawl through the directory my tired eyes can't pin it down. SO, I wondered is there a way whereby you can find out the name of the current image in the slideshow? Ideally I'd like to stick with the Windows slideshow rather than having to maybe use another app for the purpose.

    Would this be useful?

    You are AWESOME!!! I didn't honestly think there would be such a simple fix available - just perfect. Thank you SO much as it's a minor niggle that's frustrated me for quite some time!
