I am currently running MacOS Catalina.
The screensaver slideshow duration between images is set at 3 seconds. This is much too quick!! How can I change this to a longer duration.
This could be done on previous versions of MacOS and was a blessing. Or has someone at Apple decided that 3 seconds is all we should be allowed and that's all we'll get?
Or should I revert to Mojave?
iMac Pro, macOS 10.15
Hello plato226,
It sounds like you want manual adjustment to the screensaver slideshow.
Currently, that timer is automatically set and cannot be changed. You may want to submit your feedback to Apple here:
Cheers.
the workaround is no longer possible.
submissions to feedback are an exercise in futility
I too am looking for this option because I bought a mac mini to specifically use as a photo frame for our personal pictures. Is this possible in Mojave as suggested by original poster - if so, how?
Thanks!
I wish you luck. To the best of my knowledge none of the OSX releases allowed you to make those changes. However, some clever person or persons would eventually post a work-around to this problem. The solution generally required going booting to Recovery, entering a command so that you could edit and then editing the correct .plist to change the default "3" [seconds] to whatever you like. Apple 'may' have embedded the timing somewhere else, or somehow hid that default.
In any case, since work-artounds have been created for the prior releases, my guess is that more than a few customers have wanted this option and that Apple definitely does not want us to have that.
The developer is right; the customer it either wrong or doesn't know what is good for them.
Unless that clever person/s posts a new work-around, I'd say you, I and who knows how many others are S.O.L. I truly doubt Apple will change their minds. Do as they say, not what you want!
