I have been poking around at the Quartz Composer composition to try to make something I want even more. An iTunes visualizer that creates a slide show based on the song/artist/album that you are listening to. There are some limitations at this point (such as having to use 'iVisualize' rather than the built in iTunes support for Quartz Composer documents, and the oddness that can come from track titles), but it is working. I think others might be interested in this sort of app as well, but as it is derivative of the fine application you created I am hoping we can work together to make it work. If you are interested, please email me back, and I will be glad to share what I have hobbled together so far, and I would be very grateful to work with someone who is clearly far better at Quartz Composer compositions than I am.

The interface says: (1) A Users Photos (2) Tag (2) Tag (3) Contacts Photos Presumably "Tag" isn't supposed to be there twice. I want to see my contacts photos, so I set mode 3. If I type my username into the third box, the screensaver is blank. If I type it in third box, it's the same, except that when I come back, the box's value has reset to (aloi). Any suggestions?

I tried installing it and I only got it to ever load work with its default setting. It would not grab my contacts photos at all, and I'm pretty sure I entered my proper username. :( Does this thing still work?

Looking forward to your improvements on this program, email me if possible. I was wondering what 'type' #0 is.... I figured out that separated words like 'San Francisco' can be used by placing a '.' (dot) between the words (eg.san.francisco). Also, multiple tags can be comma separated. (eg. san.francisco,california,bay.area). Thanks ctaloi! I’ve downloaded FlickrSavr and it’s working great.

I built a digital photo frame for my parents so they could load shots of their grandchildren (mine and my sister's kids) and have it rotate. But we have to do it at their house or VNC in which is messier. So I wanted to use my Flickr account and your screen saver to make it easier. Only trouble is I'm having no luck getting them to appear. I'm on OSX 10.4.10 - I spin the wheel to 1 and put in my username "myuill" Nothing comes up ... any suggestions? Hey there,

I'm also unable to see the screensaver on a G3, but works well on G4. I do have a question: Where does it keep the images it downloads? Does it remove them after display? If not, is there a way to limit how many images it will download? mickey Neat. I’m also unable to see the screensaver on a G3, but works well on G4.

Then you merely design "drag 'n drop" instructions in photoshop, and set the JPG as your image's background in view options - don't forget that when you make a disk image, it saves all the viewing options and these are re-created when it opens. Blow up the icons super huge and have a big curved arrow in the background. Simple, and no installer necessary.

It should be pointed out that you are creating the image list by having quartz composer contact your site in order to run the php. You might consider publishing the php code so that people could run that locally if they so choose Thanks for the work on this.
