OK well I've reduced it to a single iRev template that runs alone or can
be passed to an iFrame:
see
http://www.himalayanacademy.com/runrev/iRev_slideshow.html
for the irev code. soooo much easier now than doing this via rev cgi's!
It will be easy to hide the "next" and "Previous" buttons and simply
pass the integer to the next slide to the refresh tag.
Then we will have slide shows that take as long as it takes to process
and upload the files (no thumbs yet in this framework)

Years ago I had a Hypercard app that took the file-list of a bunch of photos
in a folder and stitched them together in a gallery. I had one index.html,
a thumbs.html, and two sets of html detail documents (two for each photo),
one used the 'refresh' tag and the other didn't - thereby the user could
choose which set to use to 'autoplay' or not. I had a flashing red dot gif
to indicate 'running' when using the auto mode.
I batch-generated the reductions and thumbnails with GraphicConverter. I
could build a photo gallery for the web in about a minute. Back in 2001
javascript was to be avoided at all costs - it caused crashing and
incompatibilities everywhere. A lot of text files, but it got the job done.
This was used for years on the Crosby, Stills and Nash sites.

Oh! that one... yes I remember when (circa 1998) I went through our old
web sites and removed all these redirects (very bad strategy from a CMS
point of view, a nightmare in fact) and I put all the redirects into a
single matrix file with a Rev cgi to drive 404's to other pages. (I still
use it today... very sweet and easy to maintain and fast)
But I can see the utility here. No sure if there are pros or cons to using
this vs Javascript. One could add a button on the interface to post "run" to
the iRev page and then the iRev page would start inserting this into the
head... with the URL for the next slide updated on each round. If the user
clicks a "stop" button then the iRev page removes this from the head and
reverts to manual drive buttons....
I'll try it. Thanks!
you can do the automatic advance in html using the REFRESH meta
tag<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_refresh>
I've built photo galleries around a lot of html pages and refresh tags.
Depreciated by the W3C for redirects, but works like a champ for this
purpose.
Place inside <head> to refresh page after 5 seconds:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5" />
Redirect to http://example.com/ after 5 seconds:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://example.com/"; />
Redirect to http://example.com/ immediately:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://example.com/"; />.

while waiting for the plug-in to settle down ( I can't deploy revlets
until
the update function is working)
Now, I'm wondering if there is a way to make this thing drive itself, so
the user does not have to click the next button, using iRev code.
