Photo Screensaver in Cinnamon?

[nelamvr6]

I'm a long time Mint user, I just installed Cinnamon after using Mate for quite a while.

I was getting my system setup after the install, when I finally got to the point where I wanted to set my screensaver up.

I must be missing something, i couldn't find a screensaver that would show a slide show of my photos.

Is there no option in Cinnamon to simply have a slide show of my photos as my screensaver?

It works the same way as the desktop wallpapers that came with Mint. Make a directory with your photo's and choose that directory as the screensaver wallpapers. Change the random time etc. That's the way I did it.

But probably there is a real photo-screensaver in some of the repo's.

How do I do this? I already have all the photos I want to use in a folder, how do I "choose that directory as the screensaver wallpapers"?

System settings -> backgrounds

If you want to ad a new folder (where the pictures are) then push the "+" sign below. Now you can select the folder.

Now you must select "settings" (on top) and you can select slideshow.



Hope it helps. If it doesn't I will post some pics. It's not always easy to explain myself in English
