# slide
Simple, lightweight slideshow selecting random images from specified directory. This slideshow is designed to compile and run also on a Raspberry Pi, for example to turn it into a digital picture frame.
Tested versions:
* Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian Stretch.
* Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian Buster.
Screen background is filled with a scaled version of the image to prevent pure black background.

## Usage
```
slide [-t rotation_seconds] [-o background_opacity(0..255)] [-b blur_radius] -p image_folder -r
```
* `image_folder`: where to search for images (.jpg files)
* `-r` for recursive traversal of `image_folder`
* `rotation_seconds(default=30)`: time until next random image is chosen from the given folder
* `background_opacity(default=150)`: opacity of the background filling image between 0 (black background) and 255
* `blur_radius(default=20)`: blur radius of the background filling image
## Dependencies
* libexif
* qt5
```
sudo apt install libexif12 qt5-default
```
