		<title>TidBITS: Comments on Fix 10.6.2's Broken Slide Show Screen Saver</title>
		<link>http://www.tidbits.com/</link>
		<description>Mac OS 10.6.2 made a small change to the Slide Show screen saver that displays images from folders and from iPhoto, causing it to hang when pointed at large folders or iPhoto collections.</description>

			<description><![CDATA[Alas, no, 1700 is not large. In my rough testing, I think the problem started to be noticeable in the 5000 range, and was truly problematic at the 8000 range. Beyond that, the screen saver simply didn't work.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I wouldn't consider that large. My iPhoto Library is about 9,000 images now, and I'd consider that to be at least approaching large. However, back on topic, it seems this crops up at some number between 1,000 and 3,000 photos. Might deepened on their size too?<br><br>I think your hint in the original article is "many thousands."<br><br>I've not had problems, but I point my slideshow to my 'best' album which only contains 800 or so photos.<br>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have 10.6.2 slideshow screensaver pointing to a folder with 1764 images (number grows all the time) and it never has any problem showing a randomized display - on either a single monitor or with two monitors (different images show on each monitor),  Clearly, this is not a universal problem.  Or is 1764 not considered "large?"]]></description>
