Decembrer 15,2012-Launch of the development cycle for ffDiaporama 1.6

I have not had much time recently and I only now beginning to work for the new version.
 
For the moment, I have a problem with Windows that prevents me from producing packets. I hope to settle it quickly.
By concéquent only Linux users can test the new features.
 

First new feacture for this version : ffDiaporama-texturemate

ffDiaporama-texturemate is the first add-on for ffDiaporama.
It contains a selection of about 140 textures from the site www.texturemate.com
These new textures are added to the ten of texture already present in previous versions of ffDiaporama and appear in "Background" and "Text" dialog in library section.
To use it, you have to install the devel version of ffDiaporama and then install the ffDiaporama–texturemate extension.
 
I had to make some changes in code for ffDiaporama to operate with these 140 images in the library,. Thus, the images in the library are no longer stored in memory but are now loaded when required.
 
The extension and the new devel version, are available from the new "devel" download page
