Scroll through photos in multiple folders

Hello,

I have a Photos folder on my computer where I regularly copy and paste my pictures.
To keep things organized, I've created several folders by theme (family, vacations, etc.)
In my Vacations folder, I have other subfolders for different trips.
Since I take a lot of photos on vacation, I've also created a subfolder for each day.

When I look at my photos, the old Windows Photo Viewer suits me just fine as it is very user-friendly and allows for an automatic slideshow of the photos in the selected folder.

And here’s my question:
I would like to be able to automatically cycle through all the photos from one of my trips without having to exit the folder and restart a slideshow each time.

I would also like to be able to choose for the photos to cycle randomly.

Hello

In principle, Windows does this by going to the root directory. However, it's basic.
To have more options, you'll need to use a third-party program; there are plenty of them. Google to make your choice.

Best regards

Hello madmyke,

Thanks for the tip, I hadn’t noticed that this option was available. Previously, I would double-click on one of my photos and then start the slideshow from the "day" sub-folder using the Windows viewer.

Note that in order for the "Manage/Image Tools" tab => Slideshow to appear, you need to have at least one photo in the "stay" sub-folder beforehand.

The photos then scroll in order. If I want to be able to make them scroll randomly, what software do you recommend?

None, in the sense that I don't use this function, but in image management programs (not editing), it's almost a basic function.
A little research on Google will provide some leads.

I'm going to do my own research hoping to find software that isn't overly complicated.

I don't need photo editing.
