# Slideshow

The below commands will setup ```fim``` as a slideshow on your display. 

## Important Notes

* ```fim``` will crash if there are no photos for it to use as a slideshow
* You will likely want to tweak the ```fim``` command invocation below. These are great settings as a starting point but you'll probably want to make adjustments for your use case.
* This setup uses ```incron``` to restart ```fim``` when photos are deleted from the pictures folder. Without this piece ```fim``` will crash if a picture is removed from the pictures directory prior to ```fim``` rescaning the pictures directory.
