if all you need is to change the speed of Preview's slideshow, run this
Applescript in the background (with the slideshow paused)
i realized that Preview's regular slideshows (and thus the script i sent) will
stop at the end and not cycle around; there's no real fix
so i trawled around and based on your mention of "the other display" came up
with an alternative way of doing it — rotating the desktop background on one
display while you do whatever you want on the other; script here:
<https://www.dropbox.com/sh/az96qgixmm1ats2/KzPkkKzb2X/dropshow>
it's an AppleScript package onto which you can drop a folder; it will display
each image it finds (including within subfolders) as a desktop background on
the monitor of your choice; timing is flexible, and you can hack up the script
if you wish; suggested use is to move all the application windows off of one
display and tell the script to use that display, *or* use Spaces and just start
the script then switch to a blank space (since it will change the background
only for the current space)
to stop the script, bring the dropshow app to the front (even though it has no
window) and press command period; it also seems to stop with an error when the
screen saver kicks in
