First and foremost, my apologies if this question has already been answered (I haven't, however, seemed to have found the answer through searches).

- I have my start page set to a folder which has a current filemod of: "random image"

- Although I have my "image" "settings" set to "Scale: fitmargin" this doesn't seem to effect the start folder with the filemod. Therefore the random images that load on launch are shown in their original sizes.

- Is there a way to keep the start page / folder with the "random image" filemod but have those images adhere to the "fitmargin" scale settings? Perhaps a parameter I can set?

- BTW - sorry for all the quotation marks (just realized how many I used).

Thanks...

Unfortunately, the randomimage filemod does not scale the images like the native slideshow does.

From next release, you can fix this by instead setting your folder as a normal gallery, and using folder parameters. The reason it won't currently work, is because there is no "random" sort function for your folders. This will be added to next release

You would set your start folder back to a normal gallery, and then add these parameters:

settings.startmode=image&thumbnails.thumbnailscroller.enabled=false&controls.largecontrols.enabled=false&controls.maincontrols.enabled=false&image.imagebuttons.enabled=false&image.closebutton.enabled=false

You can try it and see how it works, but it does not support random so you would have to manually re-order your start image once in a while (until next version X2.7 next month)
