ArtSaver is a screensaver similar to the built-in Slide Show screensaver on Mac OS X, but with more options and features.


Here are some key features of "ArtSaver":
Keeps a persistent list of all the images found in the specified directory tree. This allows the screen saver to handle huge directory trees, and still have the benefit of
displaying images immediately, and,
not "exercising" the disk every time it gets invoked.
Options include:
the speed of the gradual zoom-in and -out;
the duration for how long an image is displayed before the next one;
whether or not the path of the image currently being displayed should be displayed, too.
You can specify constraints for excluding images from being displayed:
the minimal size in pixels;
the minimal size in bytes;
a list of file patterns; if the path of an image matches one of the patterns, it gets excluded.

What's New:
handling huge directory trees and file list has improved a lot
can use Spotlight or "hand made" search
stability has improved a lot (no crashes have been observed any more)
fixed a bug in the scaling of images, that lead to distortion
is Universal binary now.
