If I have a SlideShow.ssh file that contains JPEG images that all end with
".jpg" extensions, all is well. If one of the JPEG images ends with a ".jpeg"
extension, SlideShow won't display it, and complains that it can't open it. If I
rename the file, SlideShow is happy with it, but it seems like I shouldn't need
to do so. Can SlideShow's input file parser be changed to recognize files with
.jpeg extensions?
In a related note, if a file in the SlideShow.ssh list ends with a ".jpg" file
extension but is in reality a zero-length file, SlideShow complains of an
"invalid floating point operation" and stops processing anything else in the
list. It seems like we could handle this more gracefully: skip over the file
silently, or maybe include the path to the file in a message box so it's clear
what the offender is, but don't stop processing the list because of it.
And finally: When SlideShow saves lists of files, it's not prompting the user if
an existing file is overwritten. Assuming you're using the standard "File Save
As" dialog, MSDN says: "When using the Save As dialog box, you can direct the
dialog box to prompt the user for permission to overwrite an existing file by
setting the OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT flag." SlideShow's "Save As..." menu item
behaves as if this flag is not set.
