Features:

- For each folder, you can start a slideshow in regular order, or in random order
- Each slideshow contains the photos from the selected folder, and it’s subfolders

- (the photojukebox.cfg file contains some helpful hints)
- Browse through the photojukebox.cfg to change other settings to your liking, and save it.
