Thank you very much for your effort in making this great screensaver.
For a long time, I've wanted to be able to point the screensaver at a playlist file, rather than 'just' a folder.
After wandering through this thread I now have a way of doing that. I create a playlist that mimics your cache file format, overwrite your cache file with mine, and all is good!!!
Now the obligatory feature suggestion!
Could you offer an option to, instead of pointing to a folder, point to a playlist file of images?
I 'have' been using .m3u files to use playlists in the slideshow function of xbmc ever since the xbox days.
As I described here:

My reasoning behind this is that I have a subset of my images that I would like visible on the screensaver, and rather than making a copy of all the photos and putting them in a folder to point the screensaver to, I'd rather have the screensaver point directly to the individual photos out of my complete collection of images, that I want shown.
I can also build a playlist much quicker than copying the photos that I want.
This could also help some people, like
keencookie who wants to only display certain files(skip some folders). Of couse for him to use this he'd need to create a list of all the files he does want seen.
But anyway, Thanks for the wonderful addin that is 'Slideshow Screensaver'.
