We’re thrilled to have LrSaver released and we will be happy hear your reviews, comments & anything you have on your mind. drop us an email to feedback@lrsaver.com or simply leave a comment here…
Thank you for this nice little program.
There are only two aspects, I would like to see some improvements.
1. I have two different monitors on my computer. The current version of the screensaver shows the photo only in the middle of the two monitor’s desktop. It would be nice, if I could chose an option, to only show the photos on the primary screen.
2. The screensaver starts every time with the same pictures in the same order. A random mode would be very nice.

Koi,
thank you for your inputs:
- Dual monitor support currently has a bug, it will be fixed in a release planned for next week.
- Screensaver order is in our wish-list. User will be able to select either time-line or random order.
It’s still not clear whether functionality will reach next week release or the week after…
Again, Thank you for your input!

Just downloaded the app, thanks for putting it together. Just a couple of observations:
1. I also have the same issue with dual monitors. Instead of just selecting one monitor or the other, it would be nice to have the images appear alternately on one then the other.
2. Transitions: they’re a little… abrupt. Any chance of having them fade in/out or some other smoother transitions?
Thanks for your hard work!
Hi Jk,
The first issue is known. We found the proper solution to be similar to the one you described – having each monitor showing different image simultaneously.
Regarding the transition effects, this is something we’re evaluating.
For sure we will have transition effects but the details are yet to be defined.
thank you for your valuable input!

Although it states Lightroom 2.* I tried with 3 – it identfies the correct number of photos but get blank page when kicking off the screensaver.
Would buy this with Lightroom 3 support!
Hi Edward,
Lr3 support is in process. It will be released in the next 3-5 weeks (right after Mac support release).
If you want to receive notification upon release availability drop an email to support@lrsaver.com with “Lr3 notification request” in the title.
Thanks,
