No need for the Terminal
Authored by: arminb on Mar 20, '02 11:54:02AM

There is no need to invoke the terminal for this hint. However a normal user has no privileges to access /Library/Screen Savers/ but there is no need to.
If not already present, create a folder "~/Library/Screen Savers/" in thif folder create another an name it "MySlides.slideSaver". Of course you can replace "MySlide" with anything you like, the important part is the ".screenSaver".
Then put some pictures in there. As stated previously the pictures should be aproximately the size of the screen, but it doesn't matter much really.
Symlinks should fine.

Just make the folder in ~/Library/Screen Savers.
Name it whatever.slideSaver.
Then just put aliases of the jpegs (maybe tiffs.)
Then you'll a new entry in the list of savers.
Easy Cool!
