Overlay text settings of Endless Slideshow Screensaver

Endless Slideshow Screensaver uses tags to show image-related information. Tags are pieces of text inside [#tt...]. During the slideshow they are replaced with the actual values. And you can combine them with your own text, just like show on the above screenshot. Take a look at the first text in the list:

Total pictures: [#ttTotalPictureNumber#]

During the slideshow the [#ttTotalPictureNumber#] tag is replaced with the actual number of pictures in the slideshow. So, if you want to show the folder name of any currently shown picture instead of the full path - select the text with [#ttPictureFullFileName#] tag and click Edit button. It opens the text editor window.
