Here you go, CG or Justin. 
Your next program assignment.
I’m looking for a program in which you can load images of your choosing, and show them in a thumbnail-type style in the main part of the program’s window. Then, there needs to a feature where I can hit a button and it goes to full screen, and runs all of the images I loaded into it in the order that I specified beforehand (or if I so choose, to run them in a random sequence that the program picks by itself, and is different each time) in a presentation-style/screensaver type thing. Not only that, but there needs to be some kind of feature that allows you to specify how long each image is to displayed before going to the next one in the sequence.
Also, there needs to be a built-in talking dictionary, so I can create my own phrases and sentences easily from any of the words in the dictionary’s database, and have the computer play them back for me in sync with the image that that is being displayed in the screensaver, i.e. so that the words shown in the image match what’s being said at that point in time. Easier than having to manually record my voice, and sync it with the images being cycled through by the program.
What’s it for?
Well, I’ve discovered my mind tends to remember more of what *is seen visually*, and not only that, but remembers it better when I see the same something over and over again, in a “flash card” type thing. In other words, things I see visually and repeatedly tend to stick in my mind better than things I hear. The reason I need a program like this is I really need to learn something (actually a couple of somethings) soon, and not forget it, and having something like this, I believe, would ensure that it sticks in my memory, so I don’t have to think about it consciously to remember it, but it would come naturally. In short, I guess you can call it a program for forgetful minds.
See the attached diagram to get a better idea of what I have in mind. Note that the image area should be able to fit more than 3 image thumbnails (that’s only an example), and should there be too many to fit inside the visible part of the window, there should be a scroll bar on the right side of the screen to scroll down if necessary, like on most apps. The menu bar should contain all of the necessary menus needed to include the features I mentioned above, such as a ‘File’ menu, an ‘Edit’ menu, etc. Also, it would be nice if the program could save the whole project to file, so it can be accessed later (after the app is closed and re-opened), and have the ability to convert the finished product into some type of video format, so it can be played by other applications if so desired.
