Thanks Dan for pointing this out. This is great for both demonstrating MTL's capabilities and for doing no-frills slideshows, however not exactly what is required here, at least by my wife and, I suspect, by many other Kdenlive users, for two reasons at least, one which is trivial in the sense that it could be fixed easily, and one that is not. The trivial point is that the source clips may come reside in multiple folders, and conversively not all the files in one folders are expected to end up in the slideshows. The less trivial point is that the user may want to let Kdenlive provide transitions at random, *then* be able to select any transition and modify it to better suit their taste or remove it altogether; or add a specific effect to a specific slide; or change a slide's duration for some reason; or basically do whatever they want to the generated slideshow. Thus what I am looking for is not a "slideshow clip" that would hide the slideshow to the kdenlive operator, but a "slideshow generator" that would automate the creation of a slideshow on a track, e.g. take all currently selected clips put them on a track, adding a randomly chosen transition. This, I believe, is not the same feature as the slideshow clip, as it does not cover the same need and does not provide the same functionality.
