Slightly simpler...
Authored by: Thom on Sep 20, '02 12:26:27AM

Rather than make aliases of every picture, why not just make a softlink to the directory?

Open Terminal.app
cd ~/Library/Scre<tab> (hit tab and it will autocomplete)
ln -s ~/Pictures/path/to/my/photos/foldername myPhotos.slideSaver

All done. You can modify the original folder all you like; just don't move it or the link will break.

Slightly simpler (and multiple folders)

You can also include more than one folder of images this way - just create a new screen saver as described in the original tip, then instead of linking the actual image files, create multiple symlinks to image directories inside the slideSaver Resources directory. This works on 10.1.5.
