Another very cool thing with ACDSee: you can operate the slide-show with the scroll-wheel!

It advances to the next/previous image without stopping the slideshow?

no, using the wheel does stop the slideshow. but in general, using the wheel to navigate in the pics is quite cool.

Ah, I see. And moving it again makes it continue. Is the direction significant, or is it just an on/off thing?

Huh? nonono, wait. The way it works in ACDSee is this:

You start a slide show. Then, somewhen, you decide you don't want that slideshow anymore, so you move the mousewheel. ACDSee reacts and shows the next picture when you move the wheel down, and the previous if you move it up. But the slideshow is stopped once you moved the wheel and won't start again until you explicitly tell ACDSee to do so.

Actually, this wheel-navigation-feature is quite independent of the slideshow. When you are in single-pic mode (as opposed to thumbnail&dirtree&preview - mode), you can view the next/previous pics with the wheel. Nothing more to it ;)

Of course, the best thing would be to let the user choose whether using the wheel should stop a slideshow...

Yes, open a folder with pictures, click on any one of them and scroll through the whole collection with the wheel, extra double-quick!
Or, left-click on the folder, choose "Browse with ACDSee", double-click on any thumbnail, and scroll the collection.
It works automatically with Logitech MouseMan Wheel, the only mouse worth buying.
I strongly advice that you check out this great programmme, free evaluation version.

By the way, mouse support in KDE 2.1 is just as bad as it was in KDE 1.0 beta, so I don't expect much. After all, *nixers are real men and real men don't use mice ;-) (Yes I know this is an XFree86 thing rather than KDE thing)

Seems to be a misunderstanding, the rolling of the wheel IS the slide-show.

Oh, I see. That's just a one-liner, will add that :)
