      thanks… the image is not shown in the dom, it is shown in a separate ‘browserwindow’, floating over the dom. i just loadUrl the image into the window, after creating and positioning it.
      the mirror code doesn’t know the images are there

      pictorial calendar reminders.

      I have tested that the helper needs to do all this window mgmt

      The scheduler module does scheduling (compare db data to calendar entries), start/stop viewer(s), and provide indirect services to load images depending on their source (file, dropbox, google drive, one drive).

      The viewer module just walks thru a list of urls (getNext()) and opens a window hidden, loads image, hides old window, shows new window, deletes old window. (avoid dead window during load and, minimize screen flash)
