About

Ever open a file:/// image from your local file system explorer only to find that you want to view the next and previous image in the directory with ease?

Well now you can.  Install the extension and visit it's options page for more details about how it works!

Note - you have to manually allow access to file URLs once the extension is installed, similar to how you might allow extensions in incognito mode. 

Enjoy!

Fullscreen Slideshow Steps:
1) From options set body CSS to background-color:black;
2) Consider checking the option to reduce flicker if URL bar matters not
3) On windows press F11 to enter fullscreen, on mac press Command+Shift+F

( note: version 0.19 contains a bug where the save button will seem to save formats other than PNG.  It does not - all files saved with this version are PNGs.  Version 0.20 will save JPGs in addition to PNGs. )
