Hi!

Lovely app, I use it on my Archos 70 which is just the right size for
a dedicated photo frame. Very impressed I can use Facebook photo feeds
as a source, however I do have one suggestion.

I've subscribed to photos of myself, family and a few friends, but all
it ever seems to cycle through are photos of me, despite selecting the
random order option. I have a feeling this is going to display all
photos of me in random order before moving on to the next friend,
whereas I would prefer to see a completely random mix from all feeds,
and preferably prioritise the latest pics.

Thanks

Liam

Hi Liam, I'm afraid the problem is worse than that. Floating Image
actually does alternate between all the different image streams
randomly, but there are some problems accessing all images on
Facebook. It actually seems quite random (yay?) whether I can get
images of people or not. I _will_ look into this, but at the moment
support for Facebook is a bit dodgy. :(

Cheers,
- Mark

Hi Mark

Thanks for getting back to me. I only noticed that this is the root
cause when I put my device on a friend's dining table to show off and
have FB photos where she is tagged pop up, and presto, nothing!
However, when I select individual albums, no problem, at least as far
as I can tell.

Let me know if you need any testing, glad to help as this is a
wonderful application for my device(s).

Sincerely

Liam
