Web Admin -> Files & Media -> Screensaver... What is this for?
« on: February 20, 2008, 06:46:04 pm »
When you go to the web admin, select Files & Media, then select screensaver, you can check an attribute for your pictures..
What does this do exactly? It doesn't seem to have any effect for me...

It adds the available to screen saver attribute to that picture.

When the pluto screen saver tool scans for pictures it only accepts pictures with that attribute set. And then displays them (semi) randomly fading in and out and panning around.

But if you still have your Flickr script running, or at least pictures downloaded by Flickr when it was running, then you will have to keep a sharp eye open as they will be mixed in among "randoms"! Just use the admin site to delete the flickr pictures after you have disabled the script.

thanks, I will try that.
I was under the impression that it was a different attribute set for the MD screensaver - i'll disable the flickr script, delete the images, and see what happens

thanks
