        @Bungle68 For images stored in a local folder i have used the module MMM-ImageSlideshow previously. However, i have now moved to using MMM-Google Photos which is excellent and photos can be refreshed quite easily via Google Photos app. For Logo try
        MMM-SimpleLogo. Though it currently not maintained.

            @Bungle68 this is my current set up in the config.js

            {
                  module: 'MMM-SimpleLog',
                  position: 'top_left',      //This can be any of the regions. 
                  config: {
             //The config property is optional. 
                  file: ["~/home/mipi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SimpleLogo/Pi.png"]
                 width: '300px'      }
            },
            
            

            However, it’s not showing any picture on the screen, or any errors? Has anyone used the SimpleLogo and can share the config?
            🙏

              @Bungle68 the file name is wrong

              ~ means /home/username (mipi?)
              then u have /home/mipi

              so I suspect /home/mipi/home/mipi does not exist…

                @sdetweil great, so I just need to drop the ~, as the rest is the path for the file 🤞

                    @sdetweil I’ve changed the path, but do I need the []either end?

                    {
                           module: ‘MMM-SimpleLogo’,
                           position: ‘top_left’,  //This can be any region.
                           config: {
                                    // The config property is optional.
                                    file: [“~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SimpleLogo/Pi.png”],   // See config options.
                                    width:     ‘300px’,
                          }
                    },

                      @Bungle68 i do not know… that is up to the module.

                      is it a list of filenames, even if only 1?

                        @sdetweil it’s just an image I want to display on the screen. It’s not a module either, just code on the config.js
