i've attached a .png screen capture; hopefully you can see it. you can see that the .gz unzipped to 517 .jp2 files. i can only reason to deal with these 517 sequential files as a slideshow .. can you think of another way? i can see no way to display a slide show other than 'fullscreen'; fullscreen seems to be the only way that irfanview will display a slideshow. but fullscreen obliterates access to the the touchpad keyboard and the iv toolbar and obliterates access to almost everything: the only option that i can still control is 'shutdown' and 'restart'! ... nor do i have a mouse. although i repeatedly opted for it, the toolbar does not contain the buttons for 'next page' and 'previous page' - even if i were able to access it.
