You had me worried until I realized that you meant Picture, not Pisture.

oh, and noticed I had not commented on in the original post, in function update...
the script has this code

function Update()
{
mag=1;

//centimg=picpath + g_ImageTable[g_iimg][0];

centimg=g_ImageTable[g_iimg][0];
newWindow2(centimg);
}

the comment I should have added ---
the current script is set to run in the directory with the files...

//centimg=picpath + g_ImageTable[g_iimg][0];

centimg=g_ImageTable[g_iimg][0];

If it is running from your desktop etc, you should change those two lines to this

centimg=picpath + g_ImageTable[g_iimg][0];

//centimg=g_ImageTable[g_iimg][0];

and, since I got it working nicely, I had to go buy a bigger display! It is capable of 1920x1080 resolution, so I've changed maxwid and maxhit (on my copy of this script) to 1040 and 1820 respectively.

Showing random images this way takes little computing power from the Pi (peaks at about 20%) and only when the image is first being displayed, then the processor demand drops to 0%. I am using a 4Gb flash drive plugged directly into the Pi, and have 1000's of images on it. The Pi is powered by the monitor's USB port, and I'm using wireless networking and a wireless keyboard/mouse pad combo.

The neat part, to me anyway, is that I'm still using the Rasbian system, and I have "full use" of the P!i
