Image size and screen adjustment on Startpage slideshow

Hello

I've got a problem with images adjustment on start page in the slideshow mode.

I set the fitmargin otpion in the configuration part and it works fine for the different galeries inside. Photos size adapts to the different screen as far as I could see.
But this option doesn't work on start page. I use a serie of photos in a specific folder that I choosed for startpath and image size don't adapt to the different screens. It remains to the original size of files.
So when seen on a laptop or small screen the images are too big for the screen and cut on tops and come on Title and galery buttons.
Ideally I would like to keep these images in their actual size which is not huge (height: 650px).

How can I manage to get the images fitting the margin if this operation is possible?
Thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately, the slideshow FILEMOD does not scale your images in any way. This is just a basic module, perhaps best used if you have a few smaller images.

Instead of using this filemod, I suggest you use folder parameters to set up your slideshow, so that it scales images when necessary. Navigate to this folder in your admin, and set "use as [folder]" instead of "filemod". Then apply the following code to the parameters field for that folder:
Code
settings.startmode=image&image.slideshow.autostart=true&thumbnails.thumbnailscroller.enabled=false&controls.largecontrols.enabled=false&controls.maincontrols.enabled=false&image.imagebuttons.enabled=false&image.closebutton.enabled=false
The code above was copied from the folder-parameters documentation page:

Ok thank you.

So I guess folder parameters are available on X2 only? I'm still running on X since I'm kind of lazy to make the update changes and I did'nt really need them till now or didn't find time yet...
In the X version it seems that in filemod it 's possible to include parameters in the dedicated zone (slideshow parameters only probaly?) but this parameters area doesn't show when filemod is changed to folder usage.

Folder parameters were available since Imagevue X2.5. What version are you using? Not sure what you mean by version "X". You must be using an earlier version of Imagevue X2 I guess ...

Yes, earlier versions had parameters specifically for the filemod, but not for gallery folders like explained in my post. You will need to upgrade to take advantage of this solution.
