      Hi,

      New here, just got an RPI and am thrilled with it, MM and the 3rd party modules. I’ve set up MMM-BackgroundSlideshow to randomly show backgrounds from a few thousand pictures on my NAS. Every once in a while I see an image that I’d like to remove or edit. Is there a way to get the image filename to show somewhere on the display? (I’m not much of a coder)
      Thanks!

        FWIW, I did manage to do this. I added a line 155 to the MMM-BackgroundSlideshow.js:

        image.src = encodeURI(this.imageList[this.imageIndex]);
        this.sendNotification("IMAGEFILEPATH", image.src); //my stuff
        
        

        Then I created a small module that displayed the notification.

        Module.register("MMM-ShowMessage", {
        	defaults: {},
        	getDom: function() {
        		var element = document.createElement("div");
        		element.className = this.config.size;
        		element.id = "IMGPATHFILE";
        		return element;
        	},
        	notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) {
        		switch(notification) {
        			case "IMAGEFILEPATH":
        			        var elem = document.getElementById("IMGPATHFILE")
        				var subpayload = payload.substring(53)
        				elem.innerHTML = subpayload
        				break
        		}
        	},
        });
        

        In my config.js I just added:

        {
        	module: "MMM-ShowMessage",
        	position: "bottom_left",
        		config: {
        			size: "small"
        			}
        },
        
        

        Now each time the image changes a notification is sent and picked up by the show message module which displays it on screen. I trim the path because the beginning was consistent among all the pictures.
