None of the code provided on this page forms part of the diascope core project. It has been contributed by independent authors. Although hopefully useful, none of the below is needed to run diascope nor guaranteed to work with diascope.

dia_gen is an interactive shell script. It automatically generates a diascope input file based on all images present in a directory structure, optionally with background music. It runs diascope on the input file to create the slideshow. dia_gen was contributed by Marco Jack.

Usage instructions can be found in this OpenOffice document.

Get dia_gen (right-click, save as ..., make executable and run).
