Drag and drop slideshow generator.

[XerXes]

I'm looking for a good slideshow-generator. Normally I would just put all my slideshow-files into a directory and play it as a slideshow in IrfanView or with Windows' built-in function. Now, having been to Iraq as a soldier for 6 months, I need to create a slideshow with a selection of pictures. I have chosen the pictures and put them in a folder (I have even categorized them in subfolders), but now I wan't to put them in a slideshow in another order than just straight alphabetical.

I know I can sort the images manually in IrfanView, but this is a very cumbersome process (select the image, click "Move up" or "Move down" any numer of times). Now I am looking for a program which have a nice, big drag and drop list with the ability to sort the slideshow. Ideally it would then rename the pictures alphabetically or with numbers, so that I can just play the slideshow with Windows' function, but if that is not an option, then I can live with exporting it or just playing it in the application. Any suggestions?

I've used ACDSee in the past, it it did a great job with slideshows.

It could even export the slideshow as a full-screen PDF file. (Handy for sharing it with others)

It's not free, but they do have a demo.

I'm sure however, that with enough searching, could could find a free program that does this as well.

Yeah, I've looked around briefly, but didn't find anything. Weird I didn't think of ACDSee. I'll try that.
