    Still not working

    Dear Dr Jarvis,

    Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the problem. Using a Custom item, and putting the image in an html file still make a small black bottom frame appear (when using the (w-1) parameter).
    Using the Movie item and putting a jpg file works very well, but then the (d) parameter crashes.
    I personally would need to display a picture full screen for 10 seconds and then switch automatically to a question. The Movie item seem to be the solution but then (d10) makes it crash...
    Any hints?

    Thanks,

    Mathias Theunis

    Can you attach a copy of your image and que file? And please let me know what resolution you are using in your test sessions (safe to assume the image size matches the screen resolution?). I'll try to replicate the issue here.

    Thanks a lot for your response. Indeed screen and image resolution correspond. As I needed a fast solution, I reduced my images to 844x641 in order for them to be displayed in an "image" item with a 1024x768 screen. With a black background and fixed duration, the black border isn't visible, I only have a black frame all around.
    Hoping the next version will take into account the need for images to be displayed full screen easily.

    Best,

    Mathias Theunis

    Glad to hear you found a solution (and a creative one). If I could sometime get a copy of the image, que, and HTML files, I'll try to replicate the problem here and get it fixed for the next version.
