Linux Mint Forums

Just found this cool software package and thought I would share it with everyone. I was looking for a way to use Linux to create a picture sideshow for my upcoming high school class reunion and have tried numerous packages but this one looks to be the best.

Enjoy.

and how to install this in linux mint gloria ?? i downloaded the deb doubleclicked it - it installed but i cannot find it anywhere

so how to install this -- can anyone explaint step by step ?

You need to download and install two deb packages:
smile-data_0.9.9-1~ppa5_all.deb & smile_0.9.9-1~ppa5_i386.deb, or you can add the repo's as per the instructions. After manually installing the deb packages, there is a n icon in the "Sound & Vido" menu section.

thank you- that helped

now i have to check it out a bit more - but at first glance it is not so versatile as proshow gold (windows)

i still haven't find a linux alternative for proshow gold (windows)

this is a good start but needs some more work
