TV Dashboard - Slide Display
============================

SETUP
-----
1. Open the dashboard in a browser on the TV/display PC
2. Click the gear icon (top right) to open settings
3. Set the base path (default: S:\ProcessData\CommDisplay\ShopSS)
4. Optionally set a subfolder (e.g., Christmas2025)
5. Click "Apply & Start"


ADDING SLIDES
-------------
Due to browser security, the dashboard cannot list directory contents directly.
Use ONE of these methods:

METHOD 1: slides.txt file (RECOMMENDED)
- Create a file named "slides.txt" in your slides folder
- List each image filename on its own line
- Example:
    001.jpg
    002.jpg
    003.jpg
    company_logo.png
    safety_message.jpg

METHOD 2: Numbered files
- Name your images with 3-digit numbers: 001.jpg, 002.jpg, 003.jpg, etc.
- The dashboard will automatically find them in order

METHOD 3: Slide1, Slide2, etc.
- Name files Slide1.jpg, Slide2.jpg, Slide3.jpg, etc.
- Common when exporting from PowerPoint


CREATING SUBFOLDERS
-------------------
To organize different presentations:

S:\ProcessData\CommDisplay\ShopSS\
    ├── slides.txt          <- default slides
    ├── 001.jpg
    ├── 002.jpg
    ├── Christmas2025\
    │   ├── slides.txt
    │   ├── holiday_01.jpg
    │   └── holiday_02.jpg
    └── Safety\
        ├── slides.txt
        └── safety_001.jpg

Then in settings, enter the subfolder name (e.g., "Christmas2025")
