I’ve developed a very simple image viewer extension. It provides a dedicated window in which you can load different images from your local drive. It has no on-screen controls; instead, it works with GP Script, which provides a lot of flexibility with how you incorporate it into your gig file e.g. you can change images using radio buttons, or change images via the Timeline Actions in the Streaming Audio File Player.
The downloads for Windows and MacOS are in the Releases section on GitHub. I’ve added some example scripts for the radio buttons and timeline action examples on the Readme.
Love this. I’ve been writing cues into text label widgets and having to futz around with spaces in between words to have the lines make sense - this will make it much easier!
I tried to use it for Song-associated images, but that doesn’t work via the same script approach because Widget is not an allowed type in a Song script.
BTW, if ever the author wanted to add a function like:
GPImageViewer_Close()
I’d find that useful because you could then open an image and close it while hovering at the same spot, rather than having to move the mouse to the window corner to close it.
If you’re using the global rackspace script, you can use the On Song callback to change the image. You can also use the rackspace activation callback, so could manage all your image changes in the one place.
Otherwise, each Song has its own script, where you can change/set the image (if you only need one image per song).
