This is actually a great app and does most of what I want. In order to make it perfect I have 2 feature requests: 1) include subfolders in the image selection (I have images stored in hundreds of subfolders under several main folders, with more subfolders added all the time, so I don't want to have to keep selecting individual subfolders and it would seem simple enough to add an "include subdirectories" checkbox to the image folder selection; and 2) instead of just CENTER_CROP, include the ability to auto-adjust images to fit the screen while maintaining aspect ratio and being able to view the entire undistorted and uncropped image, with black bars on the sides or top and bottom where the image doesn't cover the entire screen area (some will say ChromeOS doesn't have this wallpaper rendering option, but others have found a way to implement it perfectly, such as CrosPaper). Thanks for all your hard work.

Great app, does exactly what I was hoping for and well. The only couple of wishes I'd have would be: - external(usb) faster read; this works but very poor read speeds/connection - mouseover path display

I really like it. No problem playing jpg, animated gif, png, but didnt want to play my mp4s. Transitions are buttery smooth! An 'export to' option would be cool.
