Sorry for my little knowledge but I would need to create a bat file in order to launch ImageGlass on the second monitor in Full Screen mode, Slideshow, starting from the last image presented. It seems elementary but I don't know how to do it.

This is something I recently realized I would like myself. Alas, this is not elementary. 

I can't get you all those conditions either, only some of them. For instance, IG currently will not restore to full screen mode on the 2d monitor, only the primary monitor. Also, IG is able to start in slideshow, but it is initially paused.

So here's how to do what you can:

1. Run image glass.

2. Make sure it is positioned on the second monitor. 

3. In the settings dialog, make certain that "start from last image" is enabled. Also check any other settings are as you desire: slideshow timer, "show countdown" and so on.

3. Open your desired first image.

4. Start slideshow mode.

5. Immediately exit IG using Alt+F4.

What you should have at this point is an igconfig.xml file which has the settings you desire. Make a copy of this igconfig.xml file to someplace else, e.g. "ig_slideshow.xml".

Your batch file would then read something like:

copy /Y ig_slideshow.xml igconfig.admin.xml

imageglass

del /F /Q igconfig_admin.xml

The batch file has to be executed in the folder where Imageglass.exe resides. The igconfig.admin.xml file will override any existing settings. By deleting it afterwards, you restore previous functionality.

Or, you could make a copy of your ImageGlass folder, with "ig_slideshow.xml" in place as "igconfig.xml", and use a desktop shortcut to execute that copy of ImageGlass.

I hope that was sufficiently clear ...  Neither easy nor elementary. Maybe Phap will point out some detail or capability that I've missed.

For me, when I used this setup the result was:

a. Imageglass in a window on the second monitor

b. showing the last image (i.e. the first image of the slideshow)

c. the slideshow paused

I recently had reason to desire similar functionality myself. I think we have an unmet need here which I'd like to address soon. It won't happen in for the 7.5 release.  I'll be tracking this in the ImageGlass repository here. My thanks for the suggestions!
