    John: I've just installed your program and really like the features. Just one question. No matter what changes I make, I don't seem to be able to control/force the order of the rotation of the pictures. If I have, for example, six pictures that I want to rotate in the same order, how can I control that? (I don't want them to appear at random but in the order I designate.) Thanks!

    I'm afraid you can't in this version. JBS is all about randomness and while early versions used to let you define specific orders for local pictures it became confusing for users with all the remote sources being there too. However sequential ordering is something I'm going to try and bring back in the next version - as long as I can create a consistent, clear way to do it. So stay tuned!

    Thanks! I'll keep looking for it. One of the things I'd like to do is change the pictures to match the times of day (sunrise, daytime/s, sunset, nighttime/s. The only way to do that, I assume, is to be able to rotate them in a specific order.

    Oh you can do that in the current version by setting up scheduled tasks at specific times to show specific pictures. Have a look in the help file which explains all - the topic is 'How To Run as a Scheduled Task'.
