Positively icy, well done!  :-)

mouser:
I'd love to hear if anyone actually uses it..

mouser:
This would be a perfect feature to combine with a book of quotes from a movie..
Maybe I should add support for subtitle files to show random subtitle lines from a movie. DONE.

mouser:
MPQ now will read .srt subtitle files, perfect for combining with a movie file.

The best way to do this is as follows.


* Let's assume you have a movie "StarWars.avi" and a subtitle file ("subsforswars.srt").
* Create a new directory called something like C:\Program Files\MultiPhotoQuotesMpsMedia\Books\StarWars\ and also C:\Program Files\MultiPhotoQuotesMpsMedia\Books\StarWars\Images
* Put in that first directory the srt file and the avi in the Images subdirectory.
Now in MPQ options, in the quote books tab you will be able to enable StarWars.

The benefit of creating a new quote "book" subdirectory is that MPQ will know to associate the srt file with the movie file, and only show subtitle lines from the movie when showing images from the movie, and it will enable you to enable and disable that folder from the options.

Note that you could also use a simple file of quotes from the movie instead of the srt file -- placing them in the same directory as the movie above will have same effect.

mouser:
One feature that is missing is a smarter way to avoid showing frames from the credits at the very end or opening logos at the very start.  The credits are worse since they can go on for so long.

The dumb way to solve this would be to avoid showing frames from say the first 60 second and the last 10 minutes.  The drawback being that it's inexact and you might never see frames from the very end of the movie.

An alternative would be to let user specify a start and end offset for a movie with an extra moviename.info file.. but i wonder if anyone really wants to go through the hassle of doing that.
