' HTML-TIME-Slideshow.vbs
' This is a HTML slideshow generator written in VBScript.
' It generates a slideshow from the selected pictures of the current album.
' The HTML code uses the new HTML+TIME (Timed Interactive Multimedia Extensions)
' Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later is needed to view the slideshow.
' This script should not be used on large slideshow as IE loads all the
' pictures in memory...
